Newbie help - is this a cepheid?

    Quarter 14-1 came up and it looks like a cepheid to me, but I'm still learning so just wondering if anyone can offer some insight!

    Hi

    it does seem to be NO Cepheid. It's radius is only 0.56 R_sol, so it's probably a M_dwarf. Cepheids are pulsating giant star.
