System

V381 Cephei is a visual double star with components A and B separated by 4.6". The primary is HD 203338 and the secondary is the magnitude 9.2 HD 203339.[8]

HD 203338 is itself a spectroscopic binary with components Aa and Ab orbiting every 280 years.[8] It forms a VV Cephei-type binary system with a hot companion which is accreting mass from the primary. The long period means that it exhibits fewer peculiarities than other VV Cephei binaries.[11]

Properties

Component Aa is a red supergiant and its close companion is a B2 main sequence star. The supergiant is a pulsating variable with a small amplitude and poorly defined period. It is generally given spectral class qualifiers indicating peculiarities and emission, which may be associated with the disc around the hot secondary.[11]

Component B, HD 203339, is a B3 main sequence star with a mass around 11 M☉.[8]
