Star system in the constellation Andromeda
This article is about b Andromedae; it is not to be confused with
β Andromedae .
60 Andromedae is astar system in the northernconstellation ofAndromeda , located to the east-northeast ofGamma Andromedae .60 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation (abbreviated60 And ), though the star also bears theBayer designation b Andromedae .[ 11] naked eye on a dark night, having anapparent visual magnitude of 4.82.[ 3] parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 620light-years (190parsecs ) from Earth.[ 2] radial velocity of –46 km/s.[ 5]
This system is known to have three components. The primary is an aginggiant star with astellar classification ofK3.5 III Ba0.4 , meaning that an overabundance of singly-ionized barium (Ba+ ion) is observed in the spectrum of the star, making it abarium star . This star is about 2[ 10] [ 8] [ 1] photosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,054 K.[ 9] degenerate white dwarf with anorbital period of 748.2 days and aneccentricity of 0.34. There is a third component at anangular separation of 0.22 arcseconds .[ 4]
