Companion stars info for Sulafat (Gamma Lyrae)?
I would like to include information about this star system in a project I'm researching, but only one source cites this as a 5-star system, and no sources give much info on the B, C, D, and E stars other than to suggest that two are white and two are red and all are dwarves. Anyone know the distances, sizes, and/or luminosities of the four companion stars to the blue giant?
Unfortunately, the alcyone.de site only gives magnitudes for two of the 4 companions, no masses, no distances, no spectra.

Took me awhile, but finally hit the jackpot. This website has what you're looking for =>http://www.alcyone.de/SIT/bsc/
Once there, click the HR designation for any of the stars you're interested in. Up pops another screen with a bit more data. Pay attention to the menu just to the left of that extra data -- browse through them and you'll find more specific data.
P.S. I've enabled my Yahoo email so you can give a shout if I can help you navigate the referenced website.
