Psi Andromedae
Psi Andromedae (ψ And, ψ Andromedae) is the Bayer designation for a triple star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. The combined apparent visual magnitude of this system is 4.95. Based upon parallax measurements, is roughly from Earth, with a large margin of error. The primary component has a stellar classification of G5 Ib, which matches the spectrum of an evolved supergiant star. It forms a pair with a star of type B9 with an unknown luminosity class separated by 0.28 arcseconds. A third component has a separation of 0.14 arcseconds. Details of the orbital arrangement remain uncertain.

Flying Serpent (asterism)
Flying Serpent (''Tengshe'' 螣蛇) is an asterism (name for a group of stars) in the constellation "Encampment" (''Shixiu'' 室宿) in the Chinese constellation system. It is named after the mythological serpent, '' tengshe''. The ''Tengshe'' asterism was a group of "22 stars, occurring in the northern artof the "Encampment" () constellation, epresenting; or comprising the figure ofthe Heavenly Snake, chief of the water reptiles", according to the treatise on astronomy in the ''Book of Jin'' (''Jin Shu''). The Tengshe coincides with the lizard constellation Lacerta Lacerta is one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. Its name is Latin for lizard. A small, faint constellation, it was defined in 1687 by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius. Its brightest stars form a "W" ..., and the northern parts of Lacerta occupy the center of Tengshe.

3 Andromedae
3 Andromedae, abbreviated 3 And, is a single star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. ''3 Andromedae'' is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.64. The distance to this star, as determined from an annual parallax shift of , is 181 light years. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −35 km/s, and has a relatively large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at ·yr−1. This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K0 IIIb, where the 'b' suffix indicated a lower luminosity giant. It is a red clump star, which means it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core. This star has an estimated 1.7 times the mass of the Sun (), and, at the age of 2.3 billion years, has expanded to 10 times the Sun's radius (). It is radiating 49 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
