ER Vulpeculae is a

light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −25 km/s.[6]

This star was observed to be a double-lined

star spots were proposed as an explanation of the intrinsic variability of these types of stars by H. M. Al-Naimiy,[15] and ER Vul was determined to be heavily spotted.[16]

active of the pair.[7] However, other observers have observed that the primary is the more active. This changeover may be the result of magnetic interaction between the stars.[8] In 2005, E. Shkolnik and associates discovered a high-velocity stream passing between the stars toward the secondary component. This stream is creating a large active area on the companion.[21]
