Pi1 Pegasi

For other stars with this Bayer designation see π Pegasi

Pi¹ Pegasi, Latinized from π¹ Pegasi, is a star in the constellation Pegasus. Based upon changes to the proper motion of the visible component, this is a probable astrometric binary.^[8] It has a yellow hue and is dimply visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.58.^[2] The system is located approximately 319 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax,^[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +5 km/s.^[4]

The visible component is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8IIIb.^[3] With the supply of hydrogen exhausted at its core, the star has cooled and expanded to 11 times the Sun's radius^[1]. It is radiating 63 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,898 K.^[1]
