22 Vulpeculae is a binary star[3] in the constellation Vulpecula. Based on its parallax, it is located some 1,900 light-years away,[1] and it has an apparent magnitude of about 5.176,[2] making it visible to the naked eye.

The primary component of 22 Vulpeculae is a G-type bright giant. It is over five times as massive as the Sun, and over 77 times as wide. Its companion is a B-type main-sequence star, 3.4 times as massive as the Sun.[7] The stars have an orbit that are oriented in such a way that they periodically eclipse each other, blocking the other star's light. For that, it has been given the variable designation QS Vulpeculae.[8]
