V1794 Cygni, also known as HD 199178, is a single star in the constellation Cygnus. With an apparent magnitude of 7.24, it's impossible to see with the naked eye, but can be seen with binoculars. V1794 is currently 366 light-years (112 pc) away, based on parallax, but is drifting closer to the Solar System, with a radial velocity of -30.76 km/s.

Properties[]

This is a variable star with 167.8% the mass of the Sun, but, with an age of around 2 billion years is younger than the latter. At this age, it has 6 times the radius of the Sun, and radiates 15.54 times the latter's luminosity, and has an effective temperature of 5,164 K, which gives it a yellow hue.

Variability[]

V1794 Cygni was first classified as a Herbig Ae/Be star in 1999[7] in a catalog of UX Orionis stars. Other stars light curves have been observed in the paper. However, it was reclassified as a FK Comae Berenices variable due to its fast rotation compared to other giants.[citation needed]
