Gamma Persei (Gamma Per, γ Persei, γ Per) is a binary star system in the constellation Perseus. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the pair is +2.9, [2] making it the fourth-brightest member of the constellation. The distance to this system is of roughly 221 light-years (68 parsecs) with a 1% margin of error. [6] About 4° to the north of Gamma Persei is the radiance point for the annual Perseid meteor shower. [11]

Lightcurve of Gamma Persei's 2019 eclipse recorded by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

This is a wide eclipsing binary system with an orbital period of 5,329.8 days (14.6 years). [12] This eclipse was first observed in 1990 and lasted for two weeks. [13] During an eclipse, the primary passes in front of the secondary, causing the magnitude of the system to decrease by 0.55. [14] The primary component of this system is a giant star with a stellar classification of G9 III. [15] It has a projected rotational velocity of 50.0 km s−1 and a lengthy estimated rotation period of 14.6 years. [7] The classification of the secondary remains tentative, with assignments of A3 V [8] and A2(III). [15]

Mass estimates for the two stars remain disparate. Using speckle interferometry, McAlister (1982) obtained mass estimates of 4.73 M for the primary and 2.75 M for the secondary, where M is the mass of the Sun. He noted that the mass estimate was too high for the given classification of the primary. [16] Martin and Mignard (1998) determined masses for both components based on data from the Hipparcos mission: 5.036 ± 0.951 M for the primary and 2.295 ± 0.453 M for the secondary. They admit that the high inclination of the orbit resulted in a large margin of error. [17] Prieto and Lambert (1999) came up with a mass estimate of 3.81 M for the primary, [18] while Pizzolato and Maggio (2000) obtained 4.34 M. [7] Ling et al. (2001) obtained estimates of 2.7 M for the primary and 1.65 M for the secondary, [8] while Kaler (2001) obtained 2.5 and 1.9, respectively. [13] Diamant et al. (2023) found masses of 3.6 and 2.4 M for A and B respectively. [9]
