2 Vulpeculae is a binary star[12] system in the northern constellation of Vulpecula, located around 1,800 light years away[2] from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.43.[3]
2 Vulpeculae is a double-lined spectroscopic binary;[12] as of 2002, the pair had an angular separation of 1.72″ along a position angle of 127.2°.[13]
The primary component of the binary is a rapidly rotating Be star[14] with a stellar classification of B1 IV.[5] It is a variable star with an amplitude of 0.06 magnitude and a period of 0.6096 days, tentatively classified as Beta Cephei variable.[6] The variability was discovered in 1959,[15] and it has been assigned the variable star designation ES Vulpeculae.[6]
