58 Persei
Multiple-star system in the constellation of Perseus
58 Persei is a binary [ 3] and possibly a triple[ 12] star system in the northern constellation of Perseus . It has the Bayer designation e Persei , while 58 Persei is the Flamsteed designation . This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.26.[ 2] It is approximately 800 light years away from the Sun based on parallax ,[ 1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s.[ 4]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 28.7 years and an eccentricity of 0.65.[ 13] The primary member, designated component A, is an orange-hued (K–type ) bright giant with a stellar classification of K1II.[ 3] The star is around 50[ 7] million years old with 7[ 7] times the mass of the Sun . Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core , it has expanded to roughly 71 times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 1,731 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,500 K.[ 8]
The secondary, component B, appears to be a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B7V.[ 3] It is a suspected binary of unknown period with component masses of 3.3 and 1.2 times the mass of the Sun.[ 12]
