HD 4778, also known as HR 234 and GO Andromedae, is a variable star in the constellation Andromeda. Its magnitude varies by 0.04 magnitudes from the median of 6.12 with a period of approximately 2.55 days.[11] The star is located 350 light years away, as determined from its annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val"..[2]

This is an Ap star with a stellar classification of A3VpSiSrCrEuKsn,[4] showing chemical peculiarities in its spectrum from strontium, chromium, and europium.[12] It is an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable[5] with a magnetic field that varies across the range Script error: No such module "val"..[13] This rotation-modulated variability allows direct determination of the rotation rate of 2.5616 days.[7]

HD 4778 has 2.24[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.36[8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 35[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,375 K.[7] It is about 77[9] million years old.
