DS Andromedae (often abbreviated to DS And) is an eclipsing binary star in the constellation Andromeda and a member of the open cluster NGC 752. Its maximum apparent visual magnitude is 10.44, but drops down to 10.93 during the main eclipse and to 10.71 during the secondary one.

System

The primary star has a spectral classification F3IV-V, matching the evidence for a star that is evolving off the main sequence and is expanding its radius. The secondary is thought to be a main sequence star with spectral type G0. It is not visible in the spectrum of DS Andromedae, but the temperature and spectral type can be estimated from the difference in brightness of the two components, determined from the eclipses. The two components are modelled to have apparent magnitudes of 10.62 and 12.47 respectively. [3]

The age of DS Andromedae appears to be very close to the hook at the end of main sequence phase of evolution and has just reached the subgiant branch. Its age can be determined at 2.0±0.2  Gyr from the NGC 752 main sequence turnoff and this allows its physical properties to be accurately calculated. It appears to be not quite filling its roche lobe and no mass transfer has taken place between the two stars; they are evolving as isolated stars. [3]

A. Alksnis discovered the variability of DS Andromedae's brightness in 1957, [8] by measuring 60 photographic plates. [9] The light curve of the star shows a main eclipse when the secondary star passes in front of the primary, and a secondary eclipse when the opposite occurs. This cycle repeats with a periodicity slightly over one day. Since the system is almost exactly edge-on the secondary eclipse is total, and allows the determination of the spectral type of the secondary component. The primary eclipse is annular as the smaller secondary passes in front of the hotter brighter primary. [3]

It is classified as an Algol variable (detached) star in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, [2] but is sometimes considered to be a β Lyrae variable (contact). [10]

NGC 752 is an open cluster in the constellation Andromeda. The cluster was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783 and cataloged by her brother William Herschel in 1786, although an object that may have been NGC 752 was described by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654.

LN Andromedae, also known as HD 217811, HR 8768, is a formerly suspected variable star in the constellation Andromeda. Located approximately 458 parsecs (1,490 ly) away from Earth, it shines with an apparent visual magnitude 6.41, thus it can be seen by the naked eye under very favourable conditions. Its spectral classification is B2V, meaning that it's a hot main sequence star, emitting light approximately with a blackbody spectrum at an effective temperature of 18,090 K.

WR 22, also known as V429 Carinae or HR 4188, is an eclipsing binary star system in the constellation Carina. The system contains a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star that is one of the most massive and most luminous stars known, and is also a bright X-ray source due to colliding winds with a less massive O class companion. Its eclipsing nature and apparent magnitude make it very useful for constraining the properties of luminous hydrogen-rich WR stars.
