Star mass
The mass of the star V450 Andromedae is unknown. Based on its other characteristics, it is estimated to be about 100 % of the Sun’s mass.

The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun... icon More about Star mass in StellarGuide

Star size
Radius of the star V450 Andromedae is not known. Its estimated value based on other similar stars is about 100 % solar radii.

The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun... icon More about Star size in StellarGuide

More about V450 Andromedae
Nearby star V450 Andromedae is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. 
      a BY Draconis variable. Stars from this category exhibit periodic variations in their luminosity. The variability is caused by a rotation which shows and hides starspots on the surface. V450 Andromedae can be found in northern celestial hemisphere, you cannot see it with naked eye, but you can observe this star with basic telescope. The star is easily observable from Northern America, Europe and Asia.

Working with real data
icon Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.
Estimated values
icon Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.
Fresh and validated
icon Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
