17 Cygni is the Flamsteed designation for a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.00,[2] so, according to the Bortle scale, it is visible from suburban skies at night. Measurements made with the Hipparcos spacecraft show an annual parallax shift of 0.04710″,[1] which is equivalent to a distance of around 69.2 ly (21.2 pc) from the Sun.
The stellar classification of the primary star is F7 V,[2] which means it is a main sequence star like the Sun. It is some 2.8[7] billion years old and shines with 3.66[6] times the Sun's luminosity. The effective temperature of the stellar atmosphere is 6,455[6] K, giving it the yellow-white hued glow of an F-type star.[9]
At an angular separation of 791.40 arcseconds is a proper motion companion with a classification of M0.4, indicating this is a red dwarf star. At the estimated distance of the pair, this is equal to a projected separation of 16,320 AU.[3] Although the CCDM lists four other companions, these are not associated with the pair.[10]
