32 Persei

32 Persei is a single[12] star located 149[1] light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Perseus.[11] It has the Bayer designation of l Persei, while 32 Persei is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.96.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −9 km/s,[5] and is a member of the Sirius supercluster: a stream of stars that share a common motion through space.[13]

This article is about l Persei. It is not to be confused with i Persei or ι (iota) Persei.

This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3V.[3] It is around 125[10] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 144 km/s.[6] The star has double[6] the mass of the Sun and 1.8[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 21[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,872 K.[6]
