It is also an Am star with a spectral classification Am(kA5/hF1/mF2), meaning that it has the calcium K line of a star with spectral type A5, the Balmer series of a F1 star, and metallic lines of an F2 star.[4]

Variability

edit

V529 Andromedae was the first star known to combine Gamma Doradus and Delta Scuti type pulsations.[1] Nine different pulsation frequencies have been observed, and three of them could arise from a previously unknown stellar pulsation mode.[7]

Companion

edit

V529 Andromedae has a 13th magnitude companion about 15 away.[8] It is a far more distant star than V529 Andromedae, only coincidentally aligned in the sky.[9]
