superhump
A superhump is a temporary increase in brightness observed in certain cataclysmic variable binary star systems, typically caused by an increase in the orbital period of the system. This phenomenon is often seen in systems containing a white dwarf or neutron star, where material from a companion star accretes onto the more massive star, causing periodic outbursts of increased brightness.
