Star in the constellation Perseus
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 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]
