87 Pegasi (also known as HD 448) is a red giant star located in the northern constellation of Pegasus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.56, it is faintly visible to the naked eye under dark skies but requires good conditions or binoculars for reliable observation.[3]

Observation

The star was observed in ultraviolet by NASA's GALEX satellite to find correlation between chromosphere and coronal activity with many other red giant stars.[9]
