35 Pegasi is a single[13] star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.80.[2] The star is located approximately 155 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[5] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +54 km/s.[4] The star has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.318 arc seconds per annum.[14]
This is an aging giant star[15] with a stellar classification of K0III,[3] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and expanded to 8.5[7] times the Sun's radius. It is a red clump giant, indicating it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[15] The star is five[11] billion years old with 1.2[6] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 32[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,676 K.[9]
There are two distant visual companions: component B, at an angular separation of 80.5″ and magnitude 10.0, and C, at separation 176.3″ and magnitude 10.64.[16]
