HD 1976 is a hierarchical triple system in the deep northern constellation of Cassiopeia, approximately 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs) from Earth. With an apparent magnitude of 5.580, the system is faintly visible to the naked eye under dark skies. It consists of an inner pair between a slowly pulsating B-type star and a less massive unknown-type star, which is distantly orbited by another B-type star. It is currently moving closer towards the Solar System at a heliocentric radial velocity of −9.70 km/s.
