1 Delphini (1 Del) is the Flamsteed designation for a close binary star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. With a combined apparent magnitude of 6.08, it is barely visible to the naked eye, even under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements put the components at a distance 703 and 780 light years respectively. However, its approaching the Solar System with a radial velocity of 15 km/s .
1 Del consists of three components. The brightest of them has a magnitude of 6.1; a companion located around 0.9 arcseconds from the primary has an apparent magnitude of 8.1; and a third star, located much farther away at around 17 arcseconds from component A, is the faintest with a magnitude of around 14 and is an unrelated background object. [11]
The entire system has a stellar classification of A1: III sh, indicating that it is a white giant + a shell star. However, there is some uncertainty about the temperature class. When resolved, the secondary has a class of B9. 1 Del A has 3 times the mass of the Sun and an effective temperature of 10,651 K, [8] giving it a bluish white glow. It is estimated to be almost 250 million years old and has a solar metallicity. [9] Both components spin rapidly, with projected rotational velocities of 217 and 370 km/s respectively. [10] As for the peculiarities, the shell star is a primary component; the spectrum of the secondary shows broad absorption lines. [10]
Due to the stability of the emission lines data from 1 Delphini has been used for developing models of shell stars and Be stars. [10]
Winnecke 4 is an optical double star consisting of two unrelated stars in a northerly zone of the sky, Ursa Major.
N Centauri is a binary star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. The brighter star is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.26, and it is approximately 304 light years away based on parallax. It has an absolute magnitude of +0.76 and is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +27 km/s. It is a candidate member of the Sco OB2 moving group.
HD 225218 is a quadruple star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. The primary component, HD 225218 A, is a giant star with a stellar classification of B9III, an apparent magnitude of 6.16, and is a candidate Lambda Boötis star. It has a fainter, magnitude 9.65 companion, HD 225218 B, at an angular separation of 5.2″ along a position angle of 171°. The primary itself has been identified as a binary star system through interferometry, with the two components separated by 0.165″. The pair, HD 225218 Aa and Ab, orbit each other with a period of about 70 years and an eccentricity of 0.515. Component B is likewise a spectroscopic binary.
HD 6114 is a visual binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With a combined apparent magnitude of 6.46, the star can only be seen with the naked eye by keen-eyed observers even on the best of nights. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.4 mas as seen from Earth's orbit, the system is located approximately 108 parsecs (350 ly) distant.
HD 130458 is a double star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus. The pair has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.8, making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the system 310-24 light years away and it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 31.4 km/s.
4 Camelopardalis is a probable multiple star in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis, located 177 light years away from the Sun, based upon parallax. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.29, it is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star. The pair have a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.158″ per year. The system's proper motion makes it a candidate for membership in the IC 2391 supercluster. They are moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 22.5 km/s.
HD 30442 is a solitary star in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.47 and is estimated to be 403 light years away from the Solar System. The object has a heliocentric radial velocity of −37 km/s, indicating that it is drifting closer.
1 Camelopardalis is a double star system in the constellation Camelopardalis. Its combined apparent magnitude is 5.56 and it is approximately 800 parsecs (2,600 ly) away.
2 Equulei is a double star system in the constellation of Equuleus.
ADS 9731 is a star system that consists of six stars, located in the constellation of Corona Borealis. Four of the stars are visually separate in the sky, forming a visual star system, which was resolved using adaptive optics in 1995. Two of these stars were themselves found to be spectroscopic binaries in 1998, resulting in a total of six known stars in the system. It is one of very few multiple star systems known to have at least six members.
2MASS J18450079–1409036 and 2MASS J18450097–1409053 is a system of two red dwarf stars both of which have spectral types of M5, with projected separation of 3.2 seconds of arc. The system is located in the constellation Scutum. The Gaia parallaxes place the system at 18.2 parsecs from Earth. Kinematically, it belongs to young Argus association.
HD 155448 is a quintuple star system consisting of 5 young B-type stars. With an apparent magnitude of 8.72, it is too dim to be visible with the naked eye.
BP Tauri is a young T Tauri star in the constellation of Taurus about 416 light years away, belonging to the Taurus Molecular Cloud.
GK Tauri is a young T Tauri-type pre-main sequence star in the constellation of Taurus about 421 light years away, belonging to the Taurus Molecular Cloud.
13 Delphini is a binary star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus, with a combined apparent magnitude of 5.64. The system is located at a distance of 471 light years but is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −7 km/s.
10 Delphini is a solitary star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.00, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements put the object at a distance of 493 light years but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −32 km/s.
HD 199223 is a double star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. However, the system was originally in Equuleus prior to the creation of official IAU constellation borders.

The system is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33 km/s.
15 Delphini is a star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.99, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The star is relatively close at a distance of 99 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.1 km/s.
HD 193373 is a solitary red hued star located in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.21, placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place it 846 light years distant and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 22.7 km/s.
HD 182509, also designated as HR 7370, is an orange hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.69, making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 635 light years. It has a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s, indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.
