Difference between Beta Cephei and Variable star

Beta Cephei vs. Variable star

Beta Cephei (β Cephei, abbreviated Beta Cep, β Cep), also named Alfirk, is a third magnitude star in the constellation of Cepheus. A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates.

Similarities between Beta Cephei and Variable star

Beta Cephei and Variable star have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): American Association of Variable Star Observers, Apparent magnitude, Bayer designation, Constellation, Giant star, Helium, Main sequence, Star, Stellar classification.

American Association of Variable Star Observers

Since its founding in 1911, the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) has coordinated, collected, evaluated, analyzed, published, and archived variable star observations made largely by amateur astronomers and makes the records available to professional astronomers, researchers, and educators.
