34 Persei is abinary star [ 3] system in the northernconstellation ofPerseus . It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued point of light with a combinedapparent visual magnitude of 4.67.[ 2] The system is located approximately 540 light years away from the Sun based onparallax ,[ 1] but it is drifting closer with aradial velocity of −3.5 km/s.[ 6] It is a likely member of theAlpha Persei Cluster .[ 11]
The primary member, designated component A, is aB-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of B3V[ 4] and visual magnitude 4.76.[ 3] It is an estimated 29[ 7] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing aprojected rotational velocity of 200 km/s.[ 9] The star has 6.9[ 7] times themass of the Sun and about 3.1[ 8] times theSun's radius . It is radiating 671[ 2] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 16,421 K.[ 9]
The secondary companion, component B, has anangular separation of 0.6″ from the primary and visual magnitude of 7.34.[ 12]
