31 Pegasi is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued point of light with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.99.[2] It is located approximately 1,600 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −5.3 km/s.[4]
This is a massive Be star with a stellar classification of B2IV-V.[11] It is a γ Cas variable; a type of shell star with a circumstellar disc of gas surrounding the star at the equator, and ranges from 5.05 up to 4.85 in visual magnitude.[12] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 98 km/s, with the pole being inclined by an estimated angle of 26°±9° to the line of sight from the Earth.[6] The star is 15.4[7] million years old with 12.5[6] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating around 28,000 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 23,890 K.[6]
