39 Andromedae, abbreviated 39 And, is a double star in the northern constellation Andromeda. 39 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. Its apparent visual magnitude is 5.95,[2] which indicates it is near the lower limit on visibility to the naked eye. The distance to this star, as estimated from its annual parallax shift of 9.57 mas,[1] is 341 light years. It is a suspected member of the Ursa Major Moving Group, although King et al. (2003) list it as a probable non-member.[8]

The brighter component is a confirmed Am star[9] with a stellar classification of kA3hA7VmA9.[3] This notation indicates its spectrum displays the calcium K line of an A3 star, the hydrogen lines of an A7 V, or A-type main-sequence star, and the metal lines of an A9 star. It is radiating 40[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,073 K.[6] As of 2015, the magnitude 12.48 companion star is located at an angular separation of 20.5″ along a position angle of 3° from the primary.[10]
