Spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cepheus
HR 8442 is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cepheus . The primary is a G type giant star while the secondary's spectral type is unknown.[ 4]
The spectroscopic binary nature of the star was first noticed by Jose Renan de Medeiros and Michel Mayor using radial velocity measurements from the Coravel spectrometer at Haute-Provence Observatory .[ 6] Roger Griffin then placed the star on his observing program at Cambridge Observatory leading to an orbital solution being published in 2015.[ 4]
