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 ...
NGC 6791 is a cluster of stars in Lyra. It contains three age groups of stars: 4 billion year-old white dwarfs, 6 billion year-old white dwarfs and 8 billion year-old normal stars. [75] NGC 6745 is an irregular spiral galaxy in Lyra that is at a distance of 208 million light-years.
Lyra with the δ Lyrae pair and surrounding cluster stars left of centre. It is the brightest member of the scattered open cluster Stephenson 1, also known as the δ Lyrae Cluster. Other known members include δ 1 Lyrae, a handful of 8th-9th magnitudes stars, and at least thirty other stars down to 14th magnitude. [11] [4]
Eta Lyrae, a name Latinized from η Lyrae, is a likely binary star [11] system in the northern constellation of Lyra.It has the traditional name Aladfar / ə ˈ l æ d f ɑːr / and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.43. [2]
LSR J1835+3259 is a nearby ultracool dwarf [6] of spectral class M8.5, [2] located in constellation Lyra, the discovery of which was published in 2003. [2] [3] Previously it was concluded that this star is a young brown dwarf, [5] but no lithium absorption lines are detected for this object, which is a strong indicator for young brown dwarfs that need 10-100 million years to deplete lithium.
HD 173416, also named Xihe, is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the northern constellation of Lyra.It is located at a distance of approximately 433 light years based on parallax measurements, [2] but is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −61 km/s. [5]
HD 174179 is a single [8] star in the northern constellation of Lyra.It has a white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.06. [2] The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,280 light years from the Sun based on parallax, [1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −15 km/s.
