39 Andromedae, abbreviated39 And, is adouble star in the northernconstellationAndromeda.39 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation. Itsapparent visual magnitude is 5.95,[2] which indicates it is near the lower limit on visibility to the naked eye. The distance to this star, as estimated from its annualparallax shift of9.57 mas,[1] is 341 light years. It is a suspected member of theUrsa Major Moving Group, although King et al. (2003) list it as a probable non-member.[8]
The brighter component is a confirmedAm star[9] with astellar classification of kA3hA7VmA9.[3] This notation indicates itsspectrum displays thecalcium K line of an A3 star, thehydrogen lines of an A7 V, orA-type main-sequence star, and themetal lines of an A9 star. It is radiating 40[2] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 8,073 K.[6] As of 2015, the magnitude 12.48 companion star is located at anangular separation of20.5″ along aposition angle of 3° from the primary.[10]
