Pi2 Cygni ,Latinized from π2 Cygni, is a possibletriple star [ 13] system in the northernconstellation ofCygnus . It is visible to thenaked eye about 2.5° east-northeast of theopen cluster M39 ,[ 14] having anapparent visual magnitude of 4.24.[ 2] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 2.95 mas ,[ 1] it is located at a distance of roughly 1,100 light years from theSun .
Pi2 Cygni has been described as a single-lined[ 15] spectroscopic binary with anorbital period of 72.0162 days and aneccentricity of 0.34.[ 7] However, a 2020 paper found noradial velocity variations on the timescale of the published orbit.[ 16] The primary, component A, is aB-type giant star with astellar classification of B2.5 III.[ 3] It is aBeta Cephei variable [ 4] with an estimated 8.4[ 8] times themass of the Sun and around 7.1[ 9] times theSun's radius . The star is roughly 33[ 8] million years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 50[ 4] km/s. It is radiating 8,442[ 10] times thesolar luminosity from itsouter atmosphere at aneffective temperature of around 20,815[ 11] K.
The third member of this system is a magnitude 5.98 star at anangular separation of 0.10 arc seconds along aposition angle of 129°, as of 1996.[ 17]
InChinese ,螣蛇 (Téng Shé ), meaningFlying Serpent , refers to an asterism consisting of π2 Cygni,α Lacertae ,4 Lacertae ,π1 Cygni ,HD 206267 ,ε Cephei ,β Lacertae ,σ Cassiopeiae ,ρ Cassiopeiae ,τ Cassiopeiae ,AR Cassiopeiae ,9 Lacertae ,3 Andromedae ,7 Andromedae ,8 Andromedae ,λ Andromedae ,κ Andromedae ,ψ Andromedae andι Andromedae . Consequently, theChinese name for π2 Cygni itself is螣蛇三 (Téng Shé sān , English:the Third Star of Flying Serpent ).[ 18]
