2 Pegasi is a single [9] star in the constellation Pegasus, located approximately 394 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. [1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.52. [2] The object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −19 km/s. [6] It has a magnitude 12.7 visual companion, designated component B, at an angular separation of 30.4 ″. [10]
This is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of M1+III, [4] currently on the asymptotic giant branch, [3] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. The star has expanded to an estimated 55 times the radius of the Sun. [7] It is radiating 653 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,919 K. [7]
