54 Persei is a single[10] star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93.[2] The star is located approximately 220 light years away based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −27 km/s.[5]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8+ IIIb,[3] a star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to more than nine times the girth of the Sun. It is around 580 million years old with 2.6 times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 51 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,036 K.[7] It has one distant visual companion, designated component B, at an angular separation of 93 and magnitude 13.0.[11]
