DX Andromedae (often abbreviated to DX And) is a cataclysmic variable star in the constellation Andromeda. It has a typical apparent visual magnitude of 15.5 during the quiescent phase, but becomes brighter (up to a magnitude of 11.0) during outbursts recurring with a mean cycle length of 330 days,[7] thus is classified as a dwarf nova of the SS Cygni type.[3]
