A new paper suggests a companion star of 1.17 solar masses could be the cause of Betelgeuse 's unexpected dimming.
The team concludes that the most likely explanation for the long-term variability is a low-mass companion star, named Ori B.
It is possible that this binary star could be modulating the dust surrounding the system and when the companion is in transit, the dust leads to a reduction in brightness.
If this were to be confirmed, it would have a significant impact on our evolutionary understanding.
