Nu2 Lyrae
Star in the constellation Lyra
Nu2 Lyrae , Latinized from ν2 Lyrae, or sometimes simply Nu Lyrae , is a solitary[ 9] star in the northern constellation of Lyra . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.09 mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 231 light years from the Sun . With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.23,[ 2] it is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye.
This is a white-hued A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V.[ 3] At an estimated age of 214 million years,[ 5] it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 128 km/s.[ 3] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 5% larger than the polar radius.[ 10] Nu2 Lyrae has an estimated 1.9[ 5] times the mass of the Sun and about 1.5[ 6] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 32[ 7] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 8,912 K.[ 5]
