• Source: 2 Equulei
    • 2 Equulei is a double star system in the constellation of Equuleus.
      The primary component of the 2 Equulei pair is an F-type main sequence star. As of 2015, the secondary had an angular separation of 2.90 arc seconds along a position angle of 213° from the primary. They form a common proper motion pair, two stars at approximately the same distance and moving in the same direction. Gaia EDR3 gives them parallaxes of 8.8125±0.2471 mas and 8.5577±0.0298 mas respectively, although they are flagged as potentially unreliable. These parallaxes correspond to a distance of around 380 ly, in contrast to the Hipparcos distance of 260±20 ly for the two stars as a pair.
      2 Equulei has been referred to in some sources as λ (Lambda) Equulei, although it was not given that designation by Bayer.
