HD 185351 is a star in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan.With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.17, [1] it is faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night. Based on parallax measurements, HD 185351 is located at a distance of 134 light years from the Sun. [2]
HD 191612 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 6,100 light years from the Sun . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.81, [ 1 ] which is too faint to be readily visible with the naked eye, requiring a small telescope to view.
Zeta Cygni (ζ Cyg) is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.26 and, based upon parallax measurements, is about 143 light-years (44 parsecs) away. The primary component, ζ Cyg A is a giant star with a spectral type of G8 IIIp.
SS Cygni is a variable star in the northern constellation Cygnus (the Swan). It was discovered in 1896 by Louisa D. Wells, a computer working under Edward Pickering at Harvard College Observatory . [ 7 ] [ 8 ] It is the prototype of the subclass of dwarf novae that show only normal eruptions.
KIC 9832227 is a contact binary star system in the constellation Cygnus, located about 2,060 light-years away. It is also identified as an eclipsing binary with an orbital period of almost 11 hours.
Kepler-22 is a Sun-like star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan, that is orbited by at least 1 planet found to be unequivocally within the star's habitable zone. It is located at the celestial coordinates : Right Ascension 19 h 16 m 52.2 s , Declination +47° 53′ 3.9″. [ 2 ]
It is a part of the Cygnus OB2 association, one of the closest massive associations to the Sun, spanning nearly 2° on the sky or ~ 30 pc in radius at the distance of 1.74 ± 0.2 kpc. [11] Based on the estimated distance and a measurement of its angular diameter of 7.8 ± 0.64 milliarcseconds , [ 8 ] NML Cygni's physical radius is of 1,350 R ☉ .
Deneb is the brighest star in the constellation of Cygnus (top) α Cygni (Latinised to Alpha Cygni) is the star's designation given by Johann Bayer in 1603. The traditional name Deneb is derived from the Arabic word for "tail", from the phrase ذنب الدجاجة Dhanab al-Dajājah, or "tail of the hen". [12]
