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.
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.
Gamma Lyrae, Latinised from γ Lyrae, and formally named Sulafat / ˈ s uː l ə f æ t /, [10] [11] is the second-brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra.With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.3, [4] it is readily visible to the naked eye.
R Lyrae, also known as its Flamsteed designation 13 Lyrae, is a 4th magnitude semiregular variable star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 350 light years away from Earth. It is visible to the naked eye. It is a red giant star of the spectral type M5III, currently at the last stages of evolution.
KSw 71 is a rapidly-spinning star in the constellation of Lyra.It is thought to have formed after two stars in a close binary system merged; its rotation has deformed it into an oblate spheroid shape.
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.
