HD 2421 is a spectroscopic binary with a class A main-sequence primary and a class F main-sequence secondary[3] in the constellation Andromeda. Its apparent magnitude is 5.18 and it is approximately 283 light years away based on parallax.

Binary system

The binary has a period of 3.96 days and a eccentricity of 0.135. The variable radial velocity was first reported by Robert Horace Baker in 1909 and the first orbit computed by Stella Udick in 1912.[6] A refined orbit was published in 1993 resulting in updated orbital parameters.[4]
