25 Serpentis is a spectroscopic binary,[11] meaning that the individual components are too close to be resolved, but periodic Doppler shifts in their spectra indicate orbital motion. The system consists of a hot B-type giant and an A-type main-sequence star. The two stars orbit each other every 38.9 days, and have a very eccentric orbit, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.731.[7] The primary is a slowly pulsating B-type star, which causes the system to vary by 0.03 magnitudes;[2] for that reason it has been given the variable star designation PT Serpentis.
