After going through the starting parts of Astrophysics, (and excuse me if I completely mess this up), that if the apparent brightness of the star decreases due to the loss in energy and contracts then expands again over a certain period.
Then as the energy released has a mass equivalence, then the mass of the overall system of the star will decrease therefore the curvature created by the star will also decrease, and will be the opposite as the star expands.
Therefore anything in orbit around these Cepheid stars should have a change in their orbits relative to the period of change?
This is more of a question to see if my thinking is correct, so please correct me!
Thank you in advance
