31 Pegasi is a single[11] star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5. It is located approximately 1,600 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −5.3 km/s.[6]

This is a massive Be star with a stellar classification of B2IV-V.[13] It is a γ Cas variable; a type of shell star with a circumstellar disc of gas surrounding the star at the equator, and ranges from 5.05 up to 4.85 in visual magnitude.[2] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 98 km/s, with the pole being inclined by an estimated angle of 26°±9° to the line of sight from the Earth.[3] The star is 15.4[9] million years old with 12.5[3] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating around 28,000 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 23,890 K.[3]
