Omega Andromedae (ω And, ω Andromedae) is a binary star system[9] in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission make this system to be approximately 93.9 light-years (28.8 parsecs ) from Earth. Its apparent visual magnitude is +4.83,[2] which makes it bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The primary component has a stellar classification of F5 IVe.[4] The IV luminosity class indicates that it is probably a subgiant star that is in the process of evolving away from the main sequence as the supply of hydrogen at its core depletes. However, Abt (1985) gives a classification of F3 V, suggesting it is an F-type main-sequence star.[5] The measured angular diameter of the primary star is 0.70 ± 0.03 mas .[10] At the system's estimated distance this yields a size of about 2.2 times that of the Sun.[6] It is emitting about seven times solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,628K .[7] This heat gives it the yellow-white-hued glow of an F-type star.[11]
In 2008, the companion star was resolved using adaptive optics at the Lick Observatory. Later observations showed the magnitude difference between the two stars is 3.65 ± 0.03 and they are separated by 0.669 arcsecond.[9] Abt (1985) lists the class as F5 V.[5]
