within a period of decadeshydrogenLuyten 726-8 BLate-type dwarf with spectra showing hydrogen emission lines. Faint flare star of very low mass. Like other flare stars, it is a member of a binary system in which both components are of nearly equal brightness. Radio flares have also been observed.V1".02
