15 Andromedae, abbreviated 15 And, is a single, [10] variable star [7] in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 15 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation, while its variable star designation is V340 And. [9] Its apparent visual magnitude is 5.55, [3] which indicates it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Its estimated distance from the Earth is 252 light years, and it is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 13 km/s. [3]

Depending on the source, this star has been classified as a giant star with a stellar classification of A1 III, [4] an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A1 Va, [5] or a Lambda Boötis star with a class of kA1hA3mA0.5 Va+. [6] It is a Delta Scuti variable that changes in brightness by 0.03 magnitude. [7] Two variability cycles, with periods 0.0403 and 0.0449 days, have been observed, a common feature for Lambda Boötis stars. [11] The star is around 130 [4] million years old and has a high rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 105 km/s. [8] It has 2.7 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 27 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,225 K. [4]

This system has an excess emission of infrared radiation that suggests the presence of an orbiting disk of dust at a distance of around 50  AU from the host star. [4]
