Psi1 Piscium (Psi1 Psc, ψ1 Piscium, ψ1 Psc) is a binary star in the constellation Pisces. It is approximately 280 light years from Earth, based on its parallax.[1]
The two components of Psi1 Piscium are both A-type main-sequence stars.[4][6] The primary has an apparent magnitude of 5.273, while the secondary is slightly dimmer, with an apparent magnitude of 5.455.[2] The primary itself is a close binary, with two A-type stars that orbit each other every 14.44 years.[4]
Psi1 Piscium is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 22.5 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 22,800 and 24,300 light years from the center of the Galaxy.[12]
