Description

is a young star in the constellation Cygnus. V1331 Cyg is located in the dark nebula LDN 981.
V1331 Cygni is most noted for having an arc-like reflection nebula surrounding it. This circumstellar disc is a great birthplace for young stars, which form in the cloud.
V1331 Cygni is heavily obscured by dust, so the properties of the central star are hard to deduce; however, it is estimated to have a radius five times that of the Sun 
and a mass of 2.8 solar mass.
The General Catalog of Variable Stars classifies V1331 Cygni as an "INST" type variable, meaning a T Tauri star which shows rapid light variations. Its visual band brightness 
varies from magnitude 13.08 to 10.58. It is sometimes classified as a pre-FUOR star. A semi-regular period of ~449 days has been reported.
Unlike many T Tauri stars, the mean brightness of V1331 Cygni remains nearly constant over long time periods.
