editFU Orionis is the prototype of FU Orionis stars, which are pre-main sequence stars that exhibit very large and sudden changes in magnitude, thought to be caused by mass transfer on to T Tauri type stars.[1] FU Orionis itself rose by nearly 6 magnitudes in 1937, from magnitude 16.5 to 9.6, [2] and is currently a G-type supergiant at around magnitude 9.[3]
