Vega is the brightest star in the constellation of Lyra. α Lyrae ( Latinised to Alpha Lyrae ) is the star's Bayer designation . The traditional name Vega (earlier Wega [ 15 ] ) comes from a loose transliteration of the Arabic word wāqi' ( Arabic : واقع ) meaning "falling" or "landing", via the phrase an-nasr al-wāqi' ( Arabic ...
Vega, Lyra's brightest star, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of binary stars known as Beta Lyrae variables. These binary stars are so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other.
The star's photosphere has expanded to 290 times the size of the Sun, and is now radiating 10,200 times the luminosity of the Sun. It has cooled to 3,394 K (3,121 °C), [6] giving Delta 2 Lyrae a reddish hue typical of M-type stars. [10] Lyra with the δ Lyrae pair and surrounding cluster stars left of centre
HD 178233 is a single [9] star in the northern constellation of Lyra.It is bright enough to be dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.53, [2] making it a sixth magnitude star.
μ Lyrae, Latinized as Mu Lyrae, is a solitary [8] star in the northern constellation Lyra.It has the traditional name Alathfar / ə ˈ l æ θ f ɑːr /, from the Arabic الأظفار al-ʼaẓfār "the talons (of the swooping eagle)", a name it shares with Eta Lyrae [9] (though the latter is spelled "Aladfar" by the IAU).

Theta Lyrae (θ Lyr) is a star in a trinary star system, in the constellation Lyra, approximately 760 light years away from Earth.Theta Lyrae is an orange bright giant star of the spectral type K0II, which means that it possesses a surface temperature of about 5,000 K, and is many times bigger and brighter, yet cooler, than the Sun.
HAT-P-5 is a 12th magnitude star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 1,000 light years away from Earth. It is a spectral type G star, about 1.16 solar masses and radii greater than the Sun, and only 200 kelvins hotter. It is estimated to be 2.6 billion years old. [1] [2] The star HAT-P-5 is named Chasoň.
