μ Cygni, Latinised as Mu Cygni, is a binary star[11] system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.49.[2] The system is located 72 light years distant from the Sun, based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +17 km/s.[4]

The pair have an orbital period of around 800 years, with a semimajor axis of 5 and an eccentricity around 0.6.[12] The primary,[9] with an apparent magnitude of 4.69, is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F6V.[3] It has 35% more mass than the Sun and 188% of the Sun's radius.[6] The star is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 9.6 km/s. The secondary companion,[10] with an apparent magnitude of 6.12, is a G-type main-sequence star with a class of G2V.[3] It has a similar radius as the Sun and slightly more mass.[6]

Two reported additional components, C (apparent magnitude 12.93) and D (apparent magnitude 6.94), are believed to be optical doubles rather than part of the Mu Cygni system.[3] Component D is the more distant spectroscopic binary HD 206874 (HIP 107326), consisting of two early F-type subgiants.[13]
