Vanda is a K-type red dwarf subgiant that is highly magnetized and distorted by the gravitational pull of the nearby giant. Its surface is a patchwork of dark starspots and bright, fiery faculae. The outer layers of this red dwarf are stretched into an elongated teardrop shape, with the pointed end directed towards
Wanda. This elongation forms a sloped gradient where material is more loosely bound, allowing plasma to peel off and feed into the accretion stream.
Accretion Bridge
The siphoning that occurs through the inner Lagrange point is not a continuous stream. The gravitational balance between the two stars waver with their orbit. Both stars swell and contract in subtle moments when their outer atmospheres overflow just enough to spill across their gravitational threshold. Sometimes the plasma is pulled in a luminous spiral. Other times, the filament will whip outwards in a violent flare. This interaction generates pulses of colour-shifted light in both stars that give the siphoning an almost breathlike cadence.
