17 Cygni is the Flamsteed designation for a multiple star system[3] in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.00,[2] so, according to the Bortle scale, it is visible from suburban skies at night. Measurements of the annual parallax find a shift of 0.0477″,[1] which is equivalent to a distance of around 68.5 ly (21.0 pc) from the Sun. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.451″/year.[11]
This system consists of two visual binary systems that were discovered by John Herschel in the 1820s. Components A and B form a bright, wide pair with an angular separation of 26.0 arcsecond and an estimated orbital period of ~6,200 years. The faint, close system consists of components F and G with a separation of 2.6 arcsecond and a period of 238 years. The two binaries form a hierarchical system with a separation of about 800 arcseconds and orbital period of 3.7 million years or more.[3] At an angular separation of 791.40 arcseconds is a proper motion companion with a classification of M0.4, indicating this is a red dwarf star. At the estimated distance of the pair, this is equal to a projected separation of 16,320 AU.[4] Although the CCDM lists four other companions, these are not associated with the system.[12]
The stellar classification of the primary star, component A, is F7 V,[2] which means it is a main sequence star like the Sun. The star has 1.24[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.54[7] times the Sun's radius. It is some 2.8[9] billion years old and shines with 3.66[8] times the Sun's luminosity. The effective temperature of the stellar atmosphere is 6,455[8] K, giving it the yellow-white hued glow of an F-type star.[13]
