4 Persei is a single[10] star in the northern constellation of Perseus, located around 670 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04[2] The Bayer designation for this star is g Persei; 4 Persei is the Flamsteed designation. This object has a peculiar velocity of 26.3 km/s and may be a runaway star.[11]

The stellar classification for 4 Persei is B8 III,[3] matching an aging B-type giant star that has evolved off the main sequence. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 60 km/s[8] and has about 3.2[6] times the Sun's radius The star is radiating 670[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,230 K.[7] 4 Persei is embedded in a small, relatively dense dust cloud, which is resulting in infrared emission from the cold dust.[12]
