29 Cygni is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is dimly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93.[2] The distance to 29 Cyg, as estimated from an annual parallax shift of 24.9 mas,[1] is 131 light years. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17 km/s.[2] It is a member of the 30–50 million year old Argus Association of co-moving stars.[10]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V.[5] Rodríguez et al. (2000) classify it as a Delta Scuti variable with a frequency of 0.0267 cycles per day.[6] It is a Lambda Boötis[11] class chemically peculiar star and the first such star to be classified as a pulsating variable.[4] 29 Cyg is multi-periodic,[12] small-amplitude variable with a magnitude change of about 0.02 and a dominant period of 39 minutes.[4] A magnetic field has been detected with an averaged quadratic field of (194.5±230.7)×10−4 T.[13] The star has a moderate rate of rotation,[4] showing a projected rotational velocity of 65 km/s.[3] It has double[3] the mass of the Sun and is radiating 25[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 8,790 K.[3]
29 Cygni is listed in multiple star catalogs as having several companions within 4′, including the yellow 7th magnitude HD 192661. All are background objects not physically associated with 29 Cygni itself.[14][15] The naked-eye stars b1 Cygni and b2 Cygni, respectively about one and two degrees away, also lie at different distances to 29 Cygni.
