Abstract: A new double star has been found in Andromeda, (0:1:59.83 +23:47:1.69, J2000). A measurement made with the Aladin tool of the new double gives 27.9" arc seconds of separation and a position angle of 292°The APASS visual magnitudes, as reported by the UCAC4 are 9.049 and 9.735.

The pair was found during a computer search of the WDS¹ , comparing all pairs listed with a primary brighter than 12.0mv with nearby stars in the the UCAC4. This pair in particular was noticed as being fairly bright, and having similar proper motions.

The proper motion of the primary is , 26.9" in right ascension, and 6.0 in declination, and that of the secondary is 26.7" in right ascension, and 6.2 in declination.

The primary's UCAC4² id is 569-000097, the secondary's UCAC4 id is 569-000094.

The above data was generated using the Aladin Sky Atlas tool³

Information about the find was communicated to William Hartkopf⁴, of the USNO, who suggested I report this find to the JDSO.

The pair has been provisionally entered into the WDS under designation 00020+2347 TVB 2.

Below is a photo of the new binary, from the DSS as rendered by the Aladin Sky Atlas tool.
