VW Cephei (VW Cep) is an eclipsing contact binary of W Ursae Majoris-type located roughly at 90.6 light years from Sun whose two component stars share a common outer layer. Because the two components share their outer layers as the components of W Ursae Majoris do they have the same stellar classification and are classified as yellow G-type main sequence dwarfs. The components take 0.2783 days (roughly 6.7 hours) to revolve around common barycentre.
