Star in the constellation Pegasus
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 .[ 9] 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] It is a member of the Ursa Major Moving Group of co-moving stars.[ 10]

The visible component is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8IIIb.[ 3] It has a high rate of spin, with a projected rotational velocity of 135 km/s.[ 7] This is giving it an equatorial bulge that is 17% larger than the polar radius.[ 11] It is a shell star , being orbited by a circumstellar shell of cooler gas.[ 12] [ 13] This star is 530[ 6] million years old with 2.5[ 6] times the mass of the Sun . With the supply of hydrogen exhausted at its core , the star has cooled and expanded to 11[ 1] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 63[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,898 K.[ 1]
