HD 225218 is a quadruple star system in the northernconstellation ofAndromeda. The primary component, HD 225218 A, is agiant star with astellar classification of B9III,[4] anapparent magnitude of 6.16,[2] and is a candidateLambda Boötis star.[9] It has a fainter, magnitude 9.65 companion, HD 225218 B, at anangular separation of 5.2″ along aposition angle of 171°.[2] The primary itself has been identified as abinary star system throughinterferometry, with the two components separated by 0.165″. The pair, HD 225218 Aa and Ab, orbit each other with a period of about 70 years and aneccentricity of 0.515.[6] Component B is likewise aspectroscopic binary.[9]
