HD 172044 is a triple star[11] system in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.41.[2] The distance to the primary component is approximately 535 light years based on parallax.[1] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −32.5 km/s, and is predicted to come as near as 77.3 light-years to the Sun some 4.5 million years from now.[2]
The dual nature of the primary star, component A, was announced in 1973 by H. A. Abt and M. A. Snowden. It is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a preliminary orbital period of 4.59 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.16.[7] The visible component is a B-type bright giant with a stellar classification of B8IIpHgMn,[4] where the suffix notation indicates it is a chemically peculiar mercury-manganese star.[9]
Component B is a magnitude 9.40 companion of an unknown spectral type.[12] It was first reported by F. G. W. Struve in 1830. As of 2016, it has an angular separation of 7.2 arcseconds along a position angle of 204° from the brighter component.[3]
