ASASSN-14ix is a cataclysmic variable star discovered in 2014 by the ASAS-SN (All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae). The star showed a sudden brightness increase of about 3.5–4 magnitudes, typical of dwarf novae. These systems consist of a white dwarf and a donor star, with mass transfer occurring through an accretion disk. Instabilities in the disk occasionally lead to brightness outbursts. ASASSN-14ix is of interest as an example of a modern-era outburst recorded by wide-field sky surveys.
