ψ Cygni, Latinised as Psi Cygni, is a triple star[3] system in the constellation called Cygnus. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.92,[2] it is visible to the naked eye. As of 2002, the inner pair, components Aa and Ab, had an angular separation of 0.10 arc seconds along a position angle of 77.6°.[12] Their combined visual magnitude is 5.05.[3] Relative to this pair, the third member of the system, magnitude 7.61[3] component B, had an angular separation of 2.87 arc seconds along a position angle of 175.6° as of 2010.[13] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 11.59 mas,[1] Psi Cygni is located around 281 light years from the Sun.

The brighter member of the system, presumably component Aa, displays the spectrum of an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A4 Vn,[4] where the 'n' notation indicates "nebulous" absorption lines due to rapid rotation. It appears to be a spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 207.[4] The component is radiating 62 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 7,971 K.[9]
