V4381 Sagittarii is a variable star in the constellation Sagittarius. A white supergiant of spectral type A2/A3Iab, it is an Alpha Cygni variable that varies between apparent photographic magnitudes 6.57 and 6.62. Its visual apparent magnitude is about 6.54.
V4381 Sagittarii is associated with a small reflection and emission nebula, although it is not actually seen within the nebulosity. The nebula is catalogued as GN 18.05.6.[8] It was first listed as VdB 113 and described as possibly associated with a loose open cluster.[9] That name has since been used for the cluster itself, which is much more distant than the distance of V4381 Sagittarii derived from its Hipparcos parallax.[10] The whole cluster is less than a quarter of a degree across, with dozens of members from 8th magnitude downwards. V4381 Sagittarii is listed as a probable member, while the nearby bright stars HD 165516 and WR 111 are considered unlikely to be members.[11]
Distance estimations
The distance to V4381 remains poorly determined as of 2021. The 2018 research based on radio interferometry has measured 2.2±0.6 milliarcseconds parallax,[12] while Gaia Early Data Release 3, based on optical astrometry, have resulted in measured parallax 0.6273±0.0372.[13]
