7 Piscium is a single[9] star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces,[8] located around 343 light-years away from the Sun.[1] It has the Bayer designation b Piscium; 7 Piscium is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.07.[2] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 40 km/s.[1]
This is a metal-deficient giant star[10] with a stellar classification of K1 IV.[3] It is a red clump giant, which indicates it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[11] The star is 4.58 billion years old with 1.37 times the mass of the Sun.[7] It has 22[1] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 163[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,314 K.[6]
