Optical lightcurves of HD 251108. Error bars are omitted for clarity. Top: DASCH lightcurve. Middle: ASAS-SN lightcurve. The flare on 2022 November 7 is easily visible and is the brightest flare observed; a second flares is seen on 2020 September 13. Bottom: ASAS-SN and multiband AAVSO lightcurve over just a few of the short periods. The AAVSO data are taken from different observers. Inconsistent calibration and different instruments lead to systematic offsets within one band (e.g., the R band in 2022 November) between different observers, but the overall variability pattern is consistent. The blue curve shows a model of two sinusoids fitted to the ASAS-SN data.
