Scientific paper

An analysis of 371 exposures of the region of μ Cas, spanning 46 years, yields an absolute parallax of 0arcsec.1368±0arcsec.0033 and an astrometric orbit with a period of 22.09±0.26 yrs, a semimajor axis of 0arcsec.1900±0arcsec.0038, and an eccentricity of 0.58±0.03. The system has a space motion of 164 km sec-1; it appears underluminous and possibly undermassive when compared to accepted values for main-sequence Population I stars.
