Delta Delphini

[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.61 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the system is located about 223 light years from the Sun.

This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary[9] system with an orbital period of 40.58 days.

[9] The two components are nearly identical chemically peculiar stars, having a combined stellar classification of kA7hF1VmF1pSrEuCr:.

Each of the stars is a Delta Scuti variable, with the system having a dominant period of 0.1568 days and an amplitude of 0.0700 in magnitude.

[2] Delta Delphini forms the prototype of a class of metal-lined δ Scuti subgiant or giant stars.
