HD 166 or V439 Andromedae (ADS 69 A) is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation Andromeda, approximately 45 light years away from Earth. It is a variable star of the BY Draconis type,[5] with a variation in brightness smaller than 0.2 magnitude. This is a G-type main sequence star like the Sun, yet cooler and dimmer, having a stellar classification of G8V and an effective temperature of 5,327K.[4] It appears within one degree of the star Alpha Andromedae.[9]

The star has a proper motion of 0.422 arcseconds per year (114.1° from north). It has an estimated visual luminosity of 61% of the Sun. It has a diameter that is about 90% the size of the Sun and has a radial velocity of −6.6 km/s. Age estimates range from as low as 200 million years old based on its chromospheric activity,[10] up to 9.6[4] billion years. X-ray emission has been detected from this star, with an estimated luminosity of 8.5×1028 erg s−1.[11]

An infrared excess has been detected around this star, most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 7.5 AU. The temperature of this dust is 90 K.[12]
