35 Cygni
Binary star in the constellation Cygnus
35 Cygni is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cygnus . Its apparent magnitude is 5.18. Located around 1,000 parsecs (3,300 ly) distant, its primary is a yellow supergiant of spectral type F6Ib, a massive star that has used up its core hydrogen and is now fusing heavier elements.
Yellow supergiants are usually variable, often Classical Cepheid variables , but 35 Cyg is notable for having an especially constant brightness.[ 10]
35 Cyg is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 2,440 days (over 6 years).[ 11] The secondary cannot be seen directly, nor can its spectral lines be identified but the overall spectrum can be match by a combination of an F4 supergiant and a less luminous B6.5 star.[ 12]
