HD 173936 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has a blue-white hue and is just barely visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.06. [2] Based upon parallax measurements, the star is located at a distance of approximately 900 light years from the Sun, [1] and has an absolute magnitude of −1.14. [2]
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.
HD 171301 is a suspected binary star [11] system in the northern constellation of Lyra.It has not been well-studied. [5] The brighter member of the pair, designated component A, [3] has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.47. [2]
Multiple star catalogues list several companions to δ 2 Lyrae, with designations such as ADS 11825. Two of them are a close pair of 10th magnitude stars about 87" from δ 2, designated components B and C. [13] The spectral type of the pair suggests that they are at the same distance as Delta 2 Lyrae, which could mean that the three stars form a triple star system.
Nu 1 Lyrae (ν 1 Lyrae) is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.49 mas as seen from Earth, it is located approximately 1,300 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.35 due to interstellar dust. [5]

ι Lyrae, Latinised as Iota Lyrae, is a binary star [3] in the northern constellation of Lyra.It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 5.22. [3]
