System

V381 Cephei is a visual double star with components A and B separated by 4.6". The primary is HD 203338 and the secondary is the magnitude 9.2 HD 203339.[9]

HD 203338 is itself a spectroscopic binary with components Aa and Ab orbiting every 280 years.[9] It forms a VV Cephei-type binary system with a hot companion which is accreting mass from the primary. The long period means that it exhibits fewer peculiarities than other VV Cephei binaries.[10]

Properties

Component Aa is a red supergiant and its close companion is a B2 main sequence star. The supergiant is a pulsating variable with a small amplitude and poorly defined period. It is generally given spectral class qualifiers indicating peculiarities and emission, which may be associated with the disc around the hot secondary.[10]

Component B, HD 203339, is a B3 main sequence star with a mass around 11 M☉.[9]

gollark: Obviously, I win.
gollark: It is a very efficient game.
gollark: You can overclock them... all the way to an amazing 2GHz, which leaves it massively slower than a 10-year-old desktop.
gollark: Pis are entirely capable for things like webservers, but not compute-heavy workloads like Minecraft *somehow* is.
gollark: Correction: Cortex-A72s.
