70 Pegasi is a binary star[6] system in the northern constellation Pegasus. It is a faint star, visible to the naked eye under good seeing conditions, with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.56.[2] The measured annual parallax shift measured from Earth's orbit is 18.65 mas,[1] yielding a distance estimate of around 175 light years. The visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.07±0.02 due to interstellar dust. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −17 km/s.[4]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 2.58 years (941 days) and a high eccentricity of 0.713.[6] The visible component has a stellar classification of G8 IIIa,[3] indicating it is an evolved G-type giant star. It is a probable red clump star, which would mean it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[9] The star has 2.5 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to more than 8 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 48 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,032 K.[4]
The secondary is most likely a low mass main sequence star with no more than 0.4 times the mass of the Sun.[6]
