There seems to exist a small subgroup of irregular variables with light curves similar to R CrB stars but with a shorter time scale. These stars have small-amplitude light variations around a ‘normal brightness’, but this is interrupted by Algol-like minima of about to at irregular intervals. The duration of the minimum phase is several percent of the total time. While at minimum the variables also show rapid light variation of greater amplitude. Moreover, RZ Psc shows a flare activity, which strongly resembles that of UV Cet stars. The minimum phase is followed by a rapid recovery to the ‘normal brightness’.
