Revision as of 12:59, 7 November 2024 by AluminiumWithAnI (talk | contribs) (variable star designation)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)HD 1976 is a hierarchical triple system in the deep northern constellation of Cassiopeia, approximately 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs) from Earth. It has the variable-star designation V746 Cassiopeiae (abbreviated to V746 Cas). 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.
