U Lacertae is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Lacerta.
Despite being in the constellation of Lacerta, U Lacertae is considered to be a member of the Cepheus OB1 association. [9] It has been listed as a member of the open cluster ASCC 123. [10]
U Lacertae is a VV Cephei binary consisting of a red supergiant and a small hot companion. The companion has been identified from a high excitation component in the spectrum and from radial velocity variations, but the orbit is unknown. [11]
U Lacertae is a variable star classified as a semiregular variable. [3] The periodicity is uncertain but a main period of 150 days and a long secondary period of 550 – 690 days have been suggested. [13] A study of Hipparcos satellite photometry found an amplitude of 0.77 magnitudes and found no periodicity. [14] The General Catalogue of Variable Stars lists an amplitude of 2.7 magnitudes. [3]
Water masers have been detected around U Lacertae, common in the extended atmospheres of very luminous cool stars. [15]
