Near-infrared (I band) light curves for QZ Vulpeculae, adapted from Chevalier and Ilovaisky (1993).[1] The data were collected over a 10 night period in July 1991. Data collected on different nights are plotted with different colors. The shape of the light curve changed over a period of approximately two days, leading to different shapes on even or odd numbered days. | |

GS 2000+25 is an X-ray binary system in the constellation Vulpecula, consisting of a late K-type star and a black hole. It is also an X-ray nova.
Properties
[edit ]Because the black hole is more massive than the companion star, it is the primary of the system. The black hole has a mass of about 5 solar masses while the companion has a mass of about 0.5 solar masses. Because the companion star has a low mass, the system is a low-mass X-ray binary.[6]
