V4024 Sagittarii is a single[11] variable star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates from about 5.3 to 5.6. The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,700 light years based on stellar parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −20 km/s. The position of this star near the ecliptic means it is subject to lunar occultations.[12]
This object is a massive Be star with a stellar classification of B2Ve.[4] The 'e' suffix indicates the spectrum of the star displays emission lines, which are created by materials ejected from the equatorial region of this rapidly rotating star. While conducting a photometric study of cepheid variable stars during 1961 and 1962, Johanna Helena Walraven et al. used the star, then known as HD 178175, as a standard star and discovered that its brightness varies.[13] It was given its variable star designation, V4024 Sagittarri, in 1978.[14] It is classified as an eruptive Gamma Cassiopeiae variable and has been measured ranging in brightness from visual magnitude 5.34 down to 5.60.[3] The star is an estimated 5 million years old with 8.8 times the mass of the Sun[9] and about 4.5[8] times the Sun's radius. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 105 m/s. V4024 Sagittarii is radiating 7,551 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 18,100 K.[7] Koen and Eyer examined the Hipparcos data for this star, and found that its brightness varied with a period of 1.7733 days.[15]
