29 Cygni is a single

Argus Association of co-moving stars.[11]

This is an

Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 8,790 K.[4]

29 Cygni is listed in

, including the yellow 7th magnitude HD 192661. All are background objects not physically associated with 29 Cygni itself.[15][16] The naked-eye stars b1 Cygni and b2 Cygni
, respectively about one and two degrees away, also lie at different distances to 29 Cygni.

Planetary system

Direct imaging of 29 Cygni b by the Subaru Telescope.

In 2022, a superjovian extrasolar planet HIP 99770 b was discovered by direct imaging and astrometry. Its spectral class is between L7 and L9.5, corresponding to a surface temperature of 1400±100 K.[17]
