2 Lyncis is a binary star system in the northern constellation Lynx. It is visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.44.[2] The distance to this system, judging by an annual parallax shift of 20.83±0.40 mas,[1] is around 157 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −2 km/s.[5]
This is a spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of around 3.6 years and an eccentricity of 0.5. It is classified as a probable (91% chance) eclipsing binary with the variable star designation UZ Lyn, showing a net magnitude decrease of 0.3 during an occultation.[4]
The primary component is an A-type main-sequence star[6] with a stellar classification of A2 Vs,[3] where the 's' indicates narrow (sharp) absorption lines. The orbiting companion may be the source of the X-ray emission from this system, as stars similar to the primary component do not generally produce detectable levels of X-rays.[8]
