The kappa opacity mechanism is the driving mechanism behind the changes in luminosity of many types of pulsating variable stars. The term Eddington valve has been used for this mechanism, but this is increasingly obsolete.

LB-1 is a binary star system in the constellation Gemini. In 2019, a paper in Nature proposed that the system contained an unusually massive stellar black hole outside of ordinary single stellar evolution parameters. However, analyses in 2020 found the original 2019 conclusion to be incorrect. Some researchers now believe the system consists of a stripped B-type star and a massive rapidly rotating Be star.
