60 Andromedae (abbreviated 60 And ) is a star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda , located to the west-northwest of Gamma Andromedae . 60 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation though the star also bears the Bayer designation b Andromedae . It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82.[ 2] parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is at a distance of roughly 530 light-years (160 parsecs ) from Earth.[ 1]
This system is known to have three components. The primary is a giant star with a stellar classification of K3.5 III Ba0.4 . It is being orbited by a white dwarf with a period of 748.2 days and an eccentricity of 0.34. There is a third component at an angular separation of 0.22 arcseconds .[ 3]
