Binary star system in the constellation Andromeda
π Andromedae in optical light Pi Andromedae (Pi And , π Andromedae , π And ) is the Bayer designation for a binary star [ 3] constellation of Andromeda . With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.4,[ 2] visible to the naked eye . It is located approximately 580 light-years (180 parsecs ) from Earth .[ 1]
The pair is classified as a blue-white B-type main sequence dwarf , with an apparent magnitude of +4.34. It is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 143.6 days and an eccentricity of 0.56. [ 3]
The spectroscopic binary forms a triple system with BD+32 102 , a magnitude 8.6 star located 35.9 arcseconds away.[ 3] arcseconds separation is an 11th magnitude companion that is just located on the same line of sight, but at a very different distance from us.
