1 Pegasi (1 Peg) is a triple star [11] system in the constellation Pegasus, located approximately 156 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. [1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.09. [2] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s. [4]
The primary component is a giant with a stellar classification of K1III, [3] a star that has exhausted the hydrogen supply at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. It has 1.57 [6] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 12 [6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 72 [5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,600 K. [8]
There are several companions in addition to the primary. The brightest, component B, is a magnitude 9.3, K-type main-sequence star with a class of K0 V orbiting at an angular separation of 36.6" from the primary; it is itself a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.042 ± 0.011 years and eccentricity of 0.290±0.022. [12] Visual companions C, with magnitude 12.9 and separation 64.7", and D, with magnitude 9.6 and separation 5.3", have been reported. [13]
