Cepheid Binary Pulsator??

  This star's graph is the reason I'm entirely in love with space. Like, what even is this, and I can only envision the beauty

  My guess is a pulsating variable. It cannot be a Cepheid (which are giant stars), the radius of our star is only about 0.6 R_sol. For a binary star (say an Eclipsing Binary) the LC is not constant enough I think. And yes, the LC looks nice!
