Astronomy:39 Draconis
39 Draconis is a wide binary star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco. It has the Bayer designation b Draconis, while 39 Draconis is the Flamsteed designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.0.[1] Parallax measurements made by the Gaia spacecraft put it at a distance of 190 light-years, or 58 parsecs away from the Sun. The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −24.5 km/s.[7]
The two components of 39 Draconis have an angular separation of 6.621″ and take almost 4,000 years to orbit each other.[3] The primary star is an early A-type main-sequence star, having 2.12 times the mass of the Sun with a visual magnitude of 5.06.[3] The secondary is a magnitude 8.07[3] F-type main-sequence star, and has 1.18 times the mass of the Sun.[8]
The 8th-magnitude star HD 238865 is listed in double star catalogues as component C.[14] It is separated from the other two stars by 90″ and lies at about the same distance.[15] It is itself a spectroscopic binary with an F8 primary and a red dwarf secondary orbiting every 2.7 days.[16][17]
