Pretty sure it is a binary star with an asymmetrical, elliptical orbit.

When the stars get close, they peel off more material from each other than at the farthest point of their orbit.


They may do this via their magnetic fields but I’d think they’d have to be close to each other. Two with virtually the same mass and magnetic field might explain it.

Hope they can swing the telescope out of the way before it's too late.
