HD 195479, also designated as HR 7839, is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Delphinus, the dolphin. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.20,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 288 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −40.1 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 195479's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.27 magnitudes[14] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.53.[6]

HD 195479 is an Am star with a stellar classification of kA1hA9mF2.[3] The notion indicates that it has the calcium K-lines of an A1 star, the hydrogen lines of an A9 star, and the metallic lines of a F2 star. It has 2.05 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 2.15 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates 38.96 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,454 K,[10] giving it white hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 195479 is deficient in iron, having an abundance 77.6% of the Sun's.[11] It is estimated to be 631 million years old[12] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 18.0 km/s,[9] common for Am stars.

The star has two optical companions: a 12th magnitude star designated B located 5.7" away along a position angle of 88° and a 13th magnitude star designated C located 55.9" away along a position angle of 206°.[15] They were both observed by American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham during the late 19th century.[16] B and C are both background stars that are far more distant than HD 195479.[17][18]
