31 Cygni, also known as ο1 Cygni, Omicron1 Cygni, or V695 Cygni, is a star in the constellation Cygnus.
The Bayer letter ο has been variously applied to two or three of the stars 30, 31, and 32 Cygni. 31 Cygni has been designated as either ο1 or ο2 Cygni. For clarity, it is preferred to use the Flamsteed designation 31 Cygni rather than one of the Bayer designations.
It is an Algol-type eclipsing binary and ranges between magnitudes 3.73 and 3.89 over a period of ten years. The component stars are an orange supergiant of spectrial type K4Iab and a blue-white star likely to be evolving off the main sequence with a spectral type of B4IV-V.
ο2 Cygni is about a degree away to the north, also a detached eclipsing binary system containing a cool giant and a small hot star. 30 Cygni is another naked eye star a tenth of a degree away from the 31 Cygni pair, forming a bright triple.
