HD 3346, also known as V428 Andromedae, is a binary star[10] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.14.[5] The distance to HD 3346 can be determined from its annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val"..[2] This yields a range of about Script error: No such module "convert".. At that distance the brightness of the system is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 magnitude due to interstellar dust.[11] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −33 km/s.[11]

Binary system

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 576 days and an eccentricity of 0.3. The a sin i value for the primary is Script error: No such module "convert"., where a is the semimajor axis and i is the (unknown) orbital inclination. The provides a minimum value for the actual semimajor axis.[6]

The visible component is a red giant star and has been defined as a standard star for the stellar classification of K6 IIIa.[4] Prior to that there had been no spectral standard for K6 giants and HD 3346 had been classified between K5 III and M0 III.[12]

In 1996 it was announced that the variations in radial velocity of this star were larger than expected. Two orbiting companions were proposed to explain this variation, the one known since 1985 with a period of about 650 days and a minimum mass of about Template:Jupiter mass, and a second one with a period of about 14-40 days and a minimum mass of about Template:Jupiter mass.[13][14] The existence of this second, possibly planetary companion was never confirmed.

Variability

In 1982, HD 3346 was listed as a suspected variable star (NSV 15135) in Pavel Nikolaevich Kholopov's catalog of suspected variable stars.[15] Gregory W. Henry et al. confirmed that the star is variable in year 2000.[16] It was given its variable star designation, V428 Andromedae, in 2003.[17]

It is a short-period semi-regular variable (type SRS),[3] also called an ultra-small-amplitude pulsating red giant.[18] It has an amplitude of only 0.065 magnitudes.[18] The main pulsation period is 11.5 days, but other periods of 11, 15, and 22 days have been detected.[19][18]
