24 Cephei is a single,[10] yellow-hued star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cepheus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.79,[2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.3965 mas,[1] is around 388 light years. It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17 km/s.[4]

Keenan and McNeil (1989) listed a stellar classification of G7 II-III[3] for 24 Cep, matching the spectrum of an evolved G-type star with blended features of a bright giant and a giant star. Older sources list a class of G8 III,[11] which would suggest an ordinary giant star. At the age of 234 million years,[5] it has an estimated 3.5[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 13[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 199[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,023 K.[7] These coordinates are a source of X-ray emission.[12]
