6 Lacertae is a binary star [5] system in the northern constellation of Lacerta, located around 1,900 light years from the Sun. [1] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.52. [2] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −9 km/s, [2] and is a suspected member of the Lac OB1 association. [4]
This system forms a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 880 days and an eccentricity of 0.3. [5] The visible component has a stellar classification of B2 IV, [3] matching a B-type subgiant star. It is about 16 [6] million years old with a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s. [10] The star has 12.5 [6] times the mass of the Sun and about 7 [7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating a net 34,590 [8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 21,150 K. [8]
