11 Andromedae, abbreviated11 And, is a single,[10] orange-huedstar in the northernconstellation ofAndromeda.11 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation. It has anapparent visual magnitude of 5.44,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. An annualparallax shift of11.5 mas[1] yields a distance estimate of 283 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of +10 km/s.[1]
This is anevolvedgiant star with astellar classification of K0 III,[3] which means it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and turned off themain sequence. It has an estimated 2.57[5] times themass of the Sun and has expanded to around 12[6] times theSun's radius. It is radiating 63[2] times theSun's luminosity from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,874 km/s.[5]
Within Andromeda it is the south-west end of a bright northerly chain (jagged line)asterism – the others being, their order going with numbering, 8, 7, 5 and3 Andromedae.
