BASIC INFO
T Coronae Borealis, often abbreviated as T CrB, is a recurrent nova located in the constellation of Corona Borealis. It is famous for its periodic outbursts, during which its brightness increases rapidly, making it visible to the naked eye. T CrB is a binary star system consisting of a white dwarf and a companion star. The white dwarf accretes material from its companion, leading to occasional thermonuclear explosions on its surface, resulting in the nova outbursts. The star in the system this page is about is the living star.
