| '''Sigma Andromedae''' (σ And, σ Andromedae) is the [[Bayer designation]] for a [[star]] in the northern [[constellation]] of [[Andromeda (constellation)|Andromeda]]. It has an [[apparent visual magnitude]] of +4.5,<ref name=scfs/> which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye from [[Bortle Dark-Sky Scale|most locations]]. [[Parallax]] measurements made during the [[Hipparcos]] mission place it at a distance of about {{Convert|135|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}}.<ref name=aaa474_2_653/> The magnitude of the star is diminished by 0.08 from [[Extinction (astronomy)|extinction]] caused by intervening gas and dust.<ref name=apjss176_1_276/> | |
| | |
| This star has a [[stellar classification]] of A2 V,<ref name=aj74_375/> which matches the [[spectrum]] of an [[A-type main sequence star]]. It is about 450 million years old<ref name=aj143_6_135/> and is spinning rapidly with a [[projected rotational velocity]] of 123 km/s.<ref name=aaa463_2_671/> The [[interferometry]]-measured [[angular diameter]] of this star is 0.465 [[milliarcseconds|mas]],<ref name=apjss176_1_276/> which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 2.1 times the [[Solar radius|radius of the Sun]].<ref name=lang2006/> It is radiating 26<ref name=apjss176_1_276/> times the luminosity of the Sun from its [[stellar atmosphere|outer atmosphere]] at a temperature of 8,929 K,<ref name=aj125_4_1980/> giving it the white-hued glow of an [[A-type star]].<ref name=csiro/>
| |
| | |
| In the past, [[radial velocity]] variations have been reported, but this remains unconfirmed. The star does not show any significant [[variable star|photometric variations]] and is used as a [[UBV photometric system|ubvy standard star]].<ref name=aaa300_783/> Sigma Andromedae is a candidate for membership in the stream of stars associated with the [[Ursa Major Moving Group]]. This is a set of stars that share a common motion through space, which suggests they originated together.<ref name=aj125_4_1980/>

| ==Naming==
| |
| In [[Chinese language|Chinese]], {{lang|zh|天廄}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Tiān Jiù}}), meaning ''[[Wall (Chinese constellation)|Celestial Stable]]'', refers to an asterism consisting of σ Andromedae, [[Theta Andromedae|θ Andromedae]] and [[Rho Andromedae|ρ Andromedae]]. Consequently, σ Andromedae itself is known as {{lang|zh|天廄三}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Tiān Jiù sān}}, {{lang-en|the Third Star of Celestial Stable}}.)<ref>{{zh icon}} [http://aeea.nmns.edu.tw/2006/0605/ap060518.html AEEA (Activities of Exhibition and Education in Astronomy) 天文教育資訊網 2006 年 5 月 18 日]</ref>
