Abstract
Physical parameters and distances are determined for the stars HD 220391 and HD 220392, which possibly form a physical pair. Ages and evolutionary masses in the new track system of Schalleret al. (1992) as well as gravitational masses of both stars are evaluated. Distance and age estimates of this possible binary system are obtained: 128(±12) pc and 7.9(±0.8) × 108 yr. Both stars are located within the Delta Scuti instability strip on the H-R diagram, but a variability was only detected in HD 220392 by Lampens (1992). The pulsation mode(s) and the pulsation mass of this variable star cannot be determined at the present time.
