Omega Persei (ω Persei) is a solitary,[7] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Perseus. The star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.6.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 11.32 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the star is about 288 light years from the Sun.

ω Persei has the traditional name Gorgonea Quarta /ɡɔːrɡəˈniːə ˈkwɔːrtə/, being the fourth member of the quartet called the Gorgonea in reference to the Gorgons from the legend of Perseus.[8]

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III.[2] It is a red clump star that is generating energy via helium fusion at its core.[3] At the estimated age of 1.65 billion years, Omega Persei has double[2] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to about 19[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 144.5 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,586 K.[2]
