V1057 Cygni is a suspected binary star[8] system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is a variable star of the FU Orionis-type, and was the second FU Orionis-type variable to be discovered. The system is located at a distance of approximately 3,000 light years from the Sun,[3] in the North America Nebula.[4] It has an apparent visual magnitude of around 12.4.[4]
The initial classification of the primary was as a young T Tauri star.[4] During 1969–1970 it underwent a nova-like outburst, increasing in brightness by five magnitudes and emitting a strong mass outflow. For the next ten years the brightness stayed at a plateau before decreasing rapidly in the mid–1990s, accompanied by a change in its spectrum. As of 2013, it is 1.5 magnitudes brighter than it was before the nova-like event.[8] The mass of FU Ori objects is estimated to be in the range of 0.3–0.7 M☉.[4]
A faint binary companion was discovered in 2016, and designated component B. It is located at a projected separation of 30±5 AU from the primary, with a possible orbital period of ~300 years. The 1970 outburst of the primary may have been caused by torque of its accretion disk by the companion.[4]
