56 Pegasi is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.74.[2] The system is approximately 590 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[14] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −28 km/s.[6] It is listed as a member of the Wolf 630 moving group.[15]

The variable radial velocity of this star was announced in 1911 by W. W. Campbell. It is a single-lined spectroscopic binary in an assumed circular orbit with a period of 111.1 days. The a sin i value for this system is 0.01511 ± 0.00040 astronomical unit|AU (2.26 ± 0.06 Gm), where a is the semimajor axis and i is the (unknown) orbital inclination. This value provides a lower bound on the true semimajor axis, which in this case is their actual separation.[5]

The primary component is a peculiar bright giant with a stellar classification of K0.5 II: Ba1 CN-2 CH-0.5.[3] This notation indicates it is a K-type giant with some uncertainty about the classification, along with an overabundance of barium and underabundances of the CN and CH radicals. It is an active star,[16] roughly 100 million years old, with 5.4 times the Sun's mass.[8] The star has expanded to 40[17] times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 680[11] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,416 K.[18]

The system displays an excess of ultraviolet radiation that must be coming from the secondary companion. Simon et al. (1982) classified this object as a subdwarf O star.[4] Alternatively, it may be a white dwarf companion with an accretion disk.[19][5] Several puzzling features in the evolutionary history of this pair may be explained if the primary is a fast rotator being seen nearly pole-on. The star may have been spun up during a mass transfer episode with the secondary.[16]
