GR Andromedae
GR Andromedae (often abbreviated to GR And) is a variable star in the constellation Andromeda. Its apparent visual magnitude varies between 6.87 and 6.95 in a cycle of 518.2 days. It is classified as an α Canum Venaticorum variable. Spectrum. The radiation emitted by GP Andromedae is a typical stellar blackbody with absorption lines from various elements, which gives to the star a spectral type A2pSrCrEu, meaning that unusually strong lines of strontium, chromium and europium can be observed. GP Andromedae is thus classified as an Ap star. The intensity and profile of the spectral lines varies within  a cycle with the same period as the brightness variations. Variability. Photometric and spectral variability of GR Andromedae is typical of a star with a strong and variable magnetic field. This way, the 518.2 days periodicity can be identified as the rotation period of the star. It's among the slowest rotators in the category of magnetic chemically peculiar stars, with a calculated equatorial rotation rate of only .
