16 Lyrae is a suspected astrometric binary[8] star system in the constellation Lyra,[7] located 126 light years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.00.[2] The system is moving further away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +5 km/s.[2] It is a suspected member of the Ursa Major Moving Group stream.[9]
Cowley et al. (1969) found a stellar classification of A7 V[5] for the visible component, matching an A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. Abt and Morrell (1995) instead listed a class of A6 IV,[4] suggesting it has left the main sequence and become a subgiant star. It is 791[6] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 124 km/s.[3] This system is a source for X-ray emission with a luminosity of 105.3×1020 W, which is most likely coming from the unseen companion.[10]
