Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Lambda Cassiopeiae, Latinized from λ Cassiopeiae, is a binary star system, in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of +4.74, making it faintly visible to the naked eye. With an annual parallax shift of 8.64 mass,[2] it is approximately 380 light years from Earth. The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.[6]
Both components are blue-white B-type main-sequence stars. The brighter member, component A, has an apparent magnitude of +5.5, while its companion, component B, has an apparent magnitude of +5.8. The two stars are separated by 0.6 arcseconds and complete one orbit around their common centre of mass about once every 250 years.[4] The primary displays an infrared excess, possibly due to a debris disk or other orbiting material.[8]
