HD 5789 and HD 5788 is a pair of stars comprising a binary star[12] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Located approximately 151 parsecs (490 ly) away, the primary is a hot, massive blue star with an apparent magnitude of 6.06 while the secondary is slightly smaller and cooler, with an apparent magnitude of 6.76. Both stars are main-sequence stars, meaning that they are currently fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. As of 2016, the pair had an angular separation of 7.90″ along a position angle of 195°.[13] While both have a similar proper motion and parallax, there's still no proof that the pair is gravitationally bound.

The primary component is HD 5789, a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9.5Vnn (λ Boo), where the 'n' indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. Abt and Morrell (1995) listed it as a Lambda Boötis star,[4] although this is disputed.[14] It has 2.7 times the mass of the Sun and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 249 km/s.[9] The star is radiating 86[9] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,977 K.[5]

The fainter secondary component is an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A2 Vn.[6] It shows a projected rotational velocity of 270 km/s and has 2.7 times the Sun's mass. The star shines with 73[9] times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 9,840 K.[5]
