S Pegasi (S Peg) is a Mira variable star in the constellation Pegasus. It varies between magnitude 7 and 13 with a period of 319.22 days.[3] It is believed to be pulsating in the first overtone. First overtone pulsators have masses less than 1.8 M at a temperature of 2,107 K, and less than 1.4 M at the luminosity of S Pegasi.[5]
