V1331 Cygni (also known as V1331 Cyg) is a young star in the located 1,950 light years from Earth on the constellation of Cygnus. V1331 Cyg is located in the dark nebula LDN 981.[4]
V1331 Cygni is most noted for having an arc-like reflection nebula surrounding it. This circumstellar disc is a great birthplace for young stars, which form in the cloud.[6] V1331 Cygni is heavily obscured by dust, so the properties of the central star are hard to deduce; however, it is estimated to have a radius five times that of the Sun and a mass of 2.8 M☉.[3]
The General Catalog of Variable Stars classifies V1331 Cygni as an "INST" type variable, meaning a T Tauri star which shows rapid light variations.[7][8] Its visual band brightness varies from magnitude 13.08 to 10.58.[7] It is sometimes classified as a pre-FUOR star.[9] A semi-regular period of ~449 days has been reported.[9] Unlike many T Tauri stars, the mean brightness of V1331 Cygni remains nearly constant over long time periods.[10][5]
