10 Andromedae, abbreviated 10 And, is an astrometric binary [3] star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 10 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 5.81, [2] which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.6  mas , [1] it is located 492  light years away. The system is moving toward the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.1 km/s. [4]

The visible component is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of M0 III, [2] which indicates it has consumed the hydrogen at its core and evolved off the main sequence. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 2.01±0.02  mas . [7] At the estimated distance of 10 And, this yields a physical size of about 33 times the radius of the Sun. [5] It is radiating 259 [2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere.

Pi Aurigae Variable star in the constellation Auriga

Pi Aurigae, Latinized from π Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a single, red-hued star in the northern constellation of Auriga. Located about one degree north of the 2nd magnitude star Beta Aurigae, Pi Aurigae is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.25 Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 800 light-years away from Earth. At that distance, the brightness of the star is diminished by 0.54 in magnitude from extinction caused by interstellar gas and dust.

65 Andromedae, abbreviated 65 And, is a single, orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent magnitude is 4.73, it is visible to the naked eye. The distance to 65 And can be derived from its annual parallax shift of 7.5 mas, which yields a range of around 440 light years. At that distance, its brightness is relatively lowered primarily by the inverse square law but also by an extinction of 0.16 magnitude due to interstellar dust. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s.
