HD 166 or V439 Andromedae (ADS 69 A) is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation Andromeda, approximately 45 light years away from Earth. It is a variable star of the BY Draconis type, varying between magnitudes 6.13 and 6.18 with a 6.23 days periodicity.[2] It appears within one degree of the star Alpha Andromedae[9] and is a member of the Hercules-Lyra association moving group.[3] It also happens to be less than 2 degrees from right ascension 00h 00m.
Star characteristics
HD 166 is a K-type main sequence star, cooler and dimmer than the Sun, and has a stellar classification of K0Ve[2] where the e suffix indicates the presence of emission lines in the spectrum. The star has a proper motion of 0.422 arcseconds per year in a direction 114.1° from north. It has an estimated visual luminosity of 61% of the Sun,[6] and is emitting like a blackbody with an effective temperature of 5,327K.[7] It has a diameter that is about 90% the size of the Sun[6] and a radial velocity of −6.9 km/s.[3] Age estimates range from as low as 78 million years old based on its chromospheric activity,[7] up to 9.6 billion years based on a comparison with theoretical evolutionary tracks.[6] X-ray emission has been detected from this star, with an estimated luminosity of 8.5×1028 erg s−1.[10]
An infrared excess has been detected around HD 166, most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 7.5 AU. The temperature of this dust is 90 K.[11]
Variability
It has been found that the periodicity in the photometric variability of HD 166 is coincident with the rotation period.[8] This leads to its classification as a BY Draconis variable, where brightness variations are caused by the presence of large starspots on the surface and by chromospheric activity.
