Star in the constellation Andromeda
23 Andromedae , abbreviated23 And , is a presumed single[ 9] star in theconstellation Andromeda , although it has been a suspectedspectroscopic binary .[ 10] 23 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation . Itsapparent visual magnitude is 5.71,[ 2] which indicates it is dimly visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions. The distance to 23 And, as determined from its annualparallax shift of 26.8 mas ,[ 1] is 121.6 light years . The star is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −27 km/s.[ 4] It has a relatively highproper motion , traversing thecelestial sphere at the rate of 0.191″ per year.[ 11]
Thestellar classification of 23 And is F0 IV,[ 3] matching anF-type subgiant star that is in the process ofevolving into ared giant . It displays a slightmicrovariability with afrequency of 0.85784 d−1 and anamplitude of 0.0062 magnitude.[ 12] The star is around 759[ 6] million years old with aprojected rotational velocity of 36 km/s.[ 3] It has 1.43[ 6] times themass of the Sun and is radiating 50[ 3] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 7,089 K.[ 6]
