CC Andromedae
CC Andromedae (CC And) is a variable star in the constellation Andromeda. It is a pulsating star of the Delta Scuti type, with an apparent visual magnitude that varies between 9.19 and 9.46 with a periodicity of 3 hours.
The variability of CC Andromedae was discovered accidentally, by Olin Eggen on October 22, 1952, when he attempted to use it as a comparison star for measuring the brightness and colors of stars in the Andromeda Galaxy which is about one degree away from CC Andromedae.
The stellar classification of CC Andromedae is F3IV-V, as it shows intermediate characteristics between a subgiant and a main sequence star. The brightness variations are the result of 7 different pulsation modes, most of which are non-radial, making it a suspected Gamma Doradus variable too.
