V424 Lacertae (V424 Lac) is a red supergiant variable star in the constellation Lacerta. It is a member of the Lacerta OB1 stellar association.
The MK spectral type of V424 Lac has been determined to be K5,[3] but it has also been classified as M0.[6] It was discovered to be slightly variable using analysis of Hipparcos photometry. The total range is less than a tenth of a magnitude.[11] Multiple short periods are detected, as well as slow variations with a period of 1,100 or 1,601 days. Although listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars as a slow irregular variable, it has been considered to be either a semiregular variable or long secondary period variable.[10]
There is an ultraviolet excess from V424 Lacertae, that may be due to an unseen companion, which could also explain the long secondary period. On this assumption, a sub-stellar companion in a 1,382 day 6.2 AU orbit has been suggested.[7]
