The system consists of an [[F-type main-sequence star]] (designated Ο Andromedae A, officially named '''Titawin''' in the [[Amazigh]] language {{IPAc-en|t|I|t|@|'|w|iΛ|n}}<!--the Berber allophone of /i/ before the pharyngealized C2 just happens to match the trisyllabic laxing expected for Latinized words-->) and a smaller [[red dwarf]]. {{As of|2015}}, three [[Exoplanet|extrasolar planet]]s (designated [[Upsilon Andromedae b]], [[Upsilon Andromedae c|c]], [[Upsilon Andromedae d|d]]; named Saffar, Samh and Majriti, respectively) are believed to orbit Ο Andromedae A. All three are likely to be [[jovian planet]]s that are comparable in size to [[Jupiter]]. This was both the first multiple-[[planetary system|planet system]] to be discovered around a [[main-sequence star]], and the first multiple-planet system known in a multiple-[[star system]].
