SIMBADdata

HD 224801, also known as CG Andromedae, is an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable star in the constellation Andromeda. Located approximately 188 parsecs (610 ly) away, the star varies between apparent magnitudes 6.32 and 6.42 over a period of approximately 3.74 days.

Spectrum

CG Andromedae is also a chemically peculiar star with a strong magnetic field, or Ap star, with a spectral type A0IIspSiSrHg. This means that it's a bright giant star that shows narrow absorption lines and unusual strong lines of silicium, strontium and mercury. Calcium and manganese lines are weaker than expected instead.[3] Other sources report that the stronger lines are of silicium and europium, thus giving a spectral classification B9pSiEu, which has just a slightly different temperature for the blackbody emission in addition to the different lines.[2]

Variability

Like in Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable stars, CG Andromedae shows a variation of luminosity and one in the strength of spectral lines with the same period of approximately 3.74 days.[7] It is thought that this is caused by an inhomogeneous distribution of elements on the surface of the star, which cause an inhomogeneous surface brightness.

A shorter period, slightly longer than 2 hours, with an amplitude of 0.011 magnitudes has been observed in the light curve of CG Andromedae; however, with a temperature of 11,000 K, it lies outside the instability strip of the HR diagram where rapidly oscillating Ap stars are located. Magnetohydrodynamic waves propagating in the star could explain the observed variability.[3]
