Rotating Variable Stars

Rotating Variable Stars is a class of variable stars whose observed brightness variations are primarily caused by the rotational modulation of surface features such as starspots, ellipsoidal deformations, or brightness inhomogeneities, distinguishing them from pulsating or eclipsing variable stars.
