34 Pegasi is a triple star[7] system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.76.[2] The system is located at a distance of 131 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −13.5 km/s.[2] It has been catalogued as a member of the Hyades Supercluster,[9] although its membership status remains doubtful.
The innermost system is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 2.55 years and an eccentricity of 0.44.[4] The orbital plane of this pair is being viewed nearly edge-on, and has an angular semimajor axis of 9.5″.[4] A third member of the system has a poorly-constrained 420 year orbit around the main pair.[10] This star was discovered by Burnham in 1874,[5] and the discovery code BU 290 was given to the double. As of 2015, it lies at an angular separation of 3.90±0.02 along a position angle of 226.2°±0.8° from the inner system.[7]
The primary member, component Aa, is an F-type main-sequence star that is starting to evolve off the main sequence,[4] with stellar classifications of F7V[3] or F8IV−V,[4] depending on the source. It is around three[6] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 8 km/s,[4] with a measured rotation period of 12 days.[5] The star has 1.3[6] times the mass of the Sun and 2.25[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 6.7[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,200 K.[1]
The secondary companion to the primary, component Ab, is most likely a red dwarf[5] star with around 29% of the mass of the Sun.[4] The tertiary member, component B, has 53%[11] of the Sun's mass and a class of around K4.[5]
