V669 Cassiopeiae or V669 Cas is an OH/IR star, a type of particularly cool red giant, with a spectral type of M9III.
With a mean visual apparent magnitude 17.5, V669 Cassiopeiae varies with an amplitude of about half a magnitude.[2] In the mid-infrared L band, its magnitude range is 1.57 to 3.02. It is listed as a possible Mira variable, but with the extremely long period of 1,994 days.[4]
The distance and physical properties of V559 Cassiopeiae are highly uncertain. Based on parallax, it is about 1,600 light years away, but a distance of about 20,000 light years has been derived based on observations of masers around the star.[3] Based on a luminosity derived from its pulsations and spectral energy distribution, it would be at a distance of 6,850 light years.[6]
