helium variable star
subjectfact 
helium variable starhas definition Bp star in which the strength of the helium lines varies periodically. At the extreme phases the objects appear as helium-rich, whereas at other phases He can be very weak or absent.has source: Jaschek, C., Jaschek, M. 1995 The Behavior of Chemical Elements in Stars, Cambridge University Press, 2001-09-27 09:30:47.0
