Rho Pegasi, Latinized from ρ Pegasi, is a star in the northern constellation of Pegasus, near the southern constellation boundary with Pisces. This is a probable astrometric binary system, as determined by changes to the proper motion of the visible component.[10] It has a white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.90.[2] The system is located at a distance of approximately 274 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10.6 km/s.[4]
This visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1V.[3] The star is 331[8] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 107 km/s.[6] It has 2.8[6] times the mass of the Sun and 3.1[7] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 110[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,484 K.[6]
