a variable star in the constellation of Andromeda. It is classified as a semiregular variable pulsating giant star, and varies from an apparent visual magnitude of 14.5 at minimum brightness to a magnitude of 9.9 at maximum brightness, with a period of approximately 238.3 days.
Roberts mistook Andromeda and similar "spiral nebulae" as star systems being formed. [31] [32] In 1912, Vesto Slipher used spectroscopy to measure the radial velocity of Andromeda with respect to the Solar System—the largest velocity yet measured, at 300 km/s (190 mi/s). [33]

Zeta Andromedae (Zeta And, ζ Andromedae, ζ And) is a star system in the constellation Andromeda. It is approximately 189 light-years from Earth. Zeta Andromedae is the star's Bayer designation. It also has the Flamsteed designation 34 Andromedae and multiple other designations in stellar catalogues.
Delta Andromedae, Latinized from δ Andromedae, is a triple star [12] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. The system is visible to the naked eye as a point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 3.28. [2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 105.5 light-years (32.3 parsecs ...
Upsilon Andromedae (υ Andromedae, abbreviated Upsilon And, υ And) is a binary star located 44 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.The system consists of an F-type main-sequence star (designated υ Andromedae A, officially named Titawin in the Amazigh language / t ɪ t ə ˈ w iː n /) and a smaller red dwarf.
66 Andromedae is a binary star [3] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda, near the northern border with Perseus.The designation is from the star catalogue of English astronomer John Flamsteed, first published in 1712.
