The system

HD 187420 is the primary of the system. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.71,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye as a yellowish-orange-hued star. However, its brightness is diminished by 0.17 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[20] Meanwhile, the secondary HD 187421 has an apparent magnitude of 6.37,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. It too suffers from extinction, which makes it 0.25 magnitudes dimmer.[20] The stars have absolute magnitudes of −0.33 and +2.69 respectively.[7] HD 187421 is located 23.5" away from HD 187420 along a position angle of 148° as of 2016.[21] They were first observed as a double star in 1826 by astronomer James Dunlap.[22]

HD 187420

HD 187420 has a stellar classification of G8/K0 III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved star with the characteristics of a G8 and K0 giant star. It has 3 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 377 million years,[1] it has expanded to 11.6 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates 88.3 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,140 K.[11] HD 187420 is metal deficient at [Fe/H] = −0.17[12] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.4 km/s.

HD 187421

HD 187421 is an A-type star with the characteristics of an A1 and A3 main sequence star, which corresponds to a classification of A1/3 V.[4] It has 2.31 times the mass of the Sun[14] and 2.72 times the Sun's radius.[9] It radiates 37.1 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,099 K,[14] giving it a white hue. HD 187421 is particularly metal enriched at [Fe/H] = +0.2[15] and is estimated to be 560 million years old.[14] Like many hot stars it spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 170 km/s.[16]
