59 Persei is a suspected astrometric binary[8] star system in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.30.[2] The star is located around 256 light years distant from the Sun, based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +13 km/s.[2]
This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1Vn,[4] a star that is fusing its core hydrogen. The 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid spin; it has a projected rotational velocity of 212 km/s.[3] The star is around 198[5] million years old with 2.58[5] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.5[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 41[3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,734 K.[5]
