HD 199223 (HR 8010) is a double star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. However, the system was originally in Equuleus prior to the creation of official IAU constellation borders. The components have a separation of 2 at a position angle of 282° as of 2016. They have apparent magnitudes of 6.34 and 7.49 and distances of 354 and 359 light years respectively. The system is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33 km/s.

The brighter component has a stellar classification of G8 III/IV, indicating that it is a G-type star with the blended luminosity class of a giant star and a subgiant. It has 163% of the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 7.71 R. It shines at 36.5 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,830 K, giving it a yellow glow. HD 199223A's iron abundance is 135% that of the Sun and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity less than km/s.

As for the dimmer one, it is classified as an F/G star, and is calculated to be an F-type subgiant.[citation needed] It has 136% of the mass of the Sun and 2.3 times its radius. It radiates with a luminosity of 9.04 L from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,572 K, giving it a yellow white glow.
