Nu Cygni, Latinized from ν Cygni, is a binary star [9] system in the constellation Cygnus. Its apparent magnitude is 3.94 [2] and it is approximately 374 light years away based on parallax. [1] The brighter component is a magnitude 4.07 A-type giant star with a stellar classification of A0III n, [3] where the 'n' indicates broad "nebulous" absorption lines due to rapid rotation. This white-hued star has an estimated 3.6 [6] times the mass of the Sun and about 1.9 [7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 412 [6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,462 K. [6] The magnitude 6.4 companion has an angular separation of 0.24 " from the primary.
