Lambda Cygni (λ Cyg) is a class B5V (blue main-sequence) star in the constellation Cygnus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.54[2] and it is approximately 770 light years away based on parallax.[1]

Lambda Cygni is a multiple star, with components A, B, and C observed in the 19th century; the main component, A, is a spectroscopic binary itself with two components Aa and Ab reported at magnitudes 5.4 and 5.8 orbiting with a period of 12 years.[9] Component B has type B7V, magnitude 6.26, and separation 0.77" (about 180 AU based on parallax).[9][10] Component C has reported type K2III-IV, apparent magnitude 9.65, and separation about 85".[11] Recent observations indicate the presence of additional smaller companions D (about 50" from A), E (about 8" from C), and F (about 40" from C) all around apparent magnitude 14.[11]
