49 Persei is a star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is just visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.09.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located around 147.7 light-years (45.27 parsecs) away from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −44 km/s.[2] It has a relatively large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at a rate of 0.220″·yr−1.[6]
This is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of K1III, a star that has used up its core hydrogen and is expanding. It is a candidate horizontal branch star, which would indicate it is past the red giant branch stage and is fusing helium at its core.[7] The star is nearly four[4] billion years old with 1.4[4] times the mass of the Sun and 3.7[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating eight[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,028 K.[1]
