λ Persei, Latinized as Lambda Persei, is a star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.29.[3] This object is located approximately 422 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[2] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.[6]

λ Persei in optical light

This object has a stellar classification of A0IVn,[5] matching an A-type subgiant star with "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 196 km/s,[10] which is giving the star an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 16% larger than the polar radius.[13] Unusually for a star of this type, spectra show weak emission features among the Hydrogen lines, which may be due to plage regions on the surface caused by an implied magnetic field.[14] The star is 345 million years old[11] and is radiating 352 times the luminosity of the Sun[8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,585 K.[9]

In Chinese astronomy, Lambda Persei is called 積水, Pinyin: Jīshuǐ, meaning Stored Water, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Stored Water asterism, Stomach mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[15] This name has also been applied to Omicron Geminorum and was approved by the IAU Working Group on Star Names as the name of that star.[16]
