22 Cygni is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.95.[2] The annual shift of 3.0 mas[1] yields a distance estimate of around 1,070 light years. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −15 km/s.[4]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 78.2 days and an eccentricity of roughly 0.17.[5] The visible component has a stellar classification of B5 IV[3] that matches a B-type subgiant star. It is 37[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 30[10] km/s and has an essentially solar metallicity, within the margin of error.[9] The star has eight[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 5.6[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 7,305[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,200 K.[8]
