Abstract

ABSTRACT An identification of V482 Cyg, an R CrB star, with a quadruple system containing a K5III star is rejected. High-resolution spectra show that the radial velocity of V482 Cyg and the K5III star differ by 35 km s-1, and the interstellar NaD lines are much stronger in the spectrum of V482 Cyg. These observations suggest that V482 Cyg is much more distant than the K5III star and has an absolute magnitude of MV ~-5, similar to that of R CrB stars in the LMC.
