Alderamin
Alpha Cephei, 5 Cephei
A variable white star, the brightest in the constellation of Cepheus, with an apparent magnitude of +2.5. Image of Alderamin
Alderamin has an unusually intense magnetic field, perhaps giving rise to starspots (the equivalent of sunspots on the Sun) like those shown in this image.
