29 Vulpeculae is a suspected astrometric binary star system in the northern constellation Vulpecula. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82. [2] The system lies approximately 209 light years away from the Sun based on parallax, [1] and is a member of the IC 2391 supercluster. [8] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17 km/s. [4]
Radial velocity measurements from High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher with an amplitude of 4 km/s indicate that it is a spectroscopic binary of unknown period. [9] The visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0V, [3] and has some slight abundance anomalies that resemble a weak Am star. [10] It is catalogued as a shell star, showing spectral features of a cooler circumstellar jacket of gas, [11] and may be a proto-shell star. [10] The star is an estimated 254 [6] million years old with a relatively low projected rotational velocity of 52 km/s. [3] It has 2.67 [3] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 71 [3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,507 K. [6]
