19 Lyrae

19 Lyrae is a single[9] variable star located approximately 940[1] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Lyra.[8] It has the variable star designation V471 Lyr, while 19 Lyrae is the Flamsteed designation. This object is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, appearing as a dim, blue-white star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 5.93.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s, and may come as close as 167 light-years around 8.5 million years from now.[2]

This is a magnetic chemically-peculiar star[10] with a stellar classification of B8 IIIp Si Sr,[3] showing abundance anomalies in silicon and strontium. The light variations of this star were discovered by J. E. Winzer in 1974.[11] It is an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum-type variable with a period of 1.160898 days, ranging in magnitude from a high of 5.91 down to 5.98.[4] The surface magnetic field has a strength of (111.3±56.9)×10−4 T[12]

19 Lyrae has a moderate rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 35 km/s.[7] Stellar models give it an estimated 3.8[5] times the mass of the Sun and its girth is measured at 6.4[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 397[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 11,194 K.[5] The star has an absolute magnitude of −1.24,[2] which shows how bright the star would appear if it were located at a distance of 10 parsecs (33 ly) from the Sun.
