34 Persei is a binary star[3] system in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.67.[2] The system is located approximately 540 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −3.5 km/s.[6] It is a likely member of the Alpha Persei Cluster.[11]

The primary member, designated component A, is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3V[4] and visual magnitude 4.76.[3] It is an estimated 29[7] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 200 km/s.[9] The star has 6.9[7] times the mass of the Sun and about 3.1[8] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 671[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 16,421 K.[9]

The secondary companion, component B, has an angular separation of 0.6″ from the primary and visual magnitude of 7.34.[12]
