49 Persei
Star in the constellation Perseus
49 Persei is a star in the northern constellation of Perseus . It is just visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.09.[ 2] Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located around 147.7 light-years (45.27 parsecs) away from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −44 km/s.[ 2] It has a relatively large proper motion , traversing the celestial sphere at a rate of 0.220″ ·yr−1 .[ 6]
This is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of K1III, a star that has used up its core hydrogen and is expanding. It is a candidate horizontal branch star, which would indicate it is past the red giant branch stage and is fusing helium at its core.[ 7] The star is nearly four[ 4] billion years old with 1.4[ 4] times the mass of the Sun and 3.7[ 1] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating eight[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,028 K.[ 1]
