75 Cygni is a binary star[9] system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, reddish-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.09.[2] The system is located at a distance of about 434 light years from the Sun, based on parallax, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −29 km/s.[1]
The pair had an angular separation of 2.7″ as of 2008, with the companion having a visual magnitude of 10.7.[9] The brighter magnitude 5.18[9] primary is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of M1IIIab.[4] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to around 46 times the radius of the Sun.[7] It is a suspected variable star of unknown type and amplitude.[5] The star is radiating 442 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,906 K.[7]
It is likely that 75 Cygni is on the asymptotic giant branch, having exhausted its core helium,[3] but there is a chance that it might be a higher-mass star on the red giant branch, before igniting its core helium.[10]
An optical companion, with a spectral type of K, is about an arcminute away and has an apparent magnitude of 10.14.[11]
