Yellow supergiants are usually variable, often Classical Cepheid variables, but 35 Cyg is notable for having an especially constant brightness.[10]

35 Cyg is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 2,440 days (over 6 years).[11] The secondary cannot be seen directly, nor can its spectral lines be identified but the overall spectrum can be match by a combination of an F4 supergiant and a less luminous B6.5 star.[12]
