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.[9]
