29 Cygni is listed in
multiple star catalogs as having several companions within 4
′, including the yellow 7th magnitude HD 192661. All are background objects not physically associated with 29 Cygni itself.[15][16] The naked-eye stars
b1 Cygni and
b2 Cygni, respectively about one and two degrees away, also lie at different distances to 29 Cygni.
Planetary system
In 2022, a
superjovian extrasolar planet
HIP 99770 b was discovered by direct imaging and
astrometry. Its spectral class is between L7 and L9.5, corresponding to a surface temperature of 1400±100
K.[17]
