27 Vulpeculae is a single,[10] blue-whitestar in the northernconstellation ofVulpecula. It is a dim star, visible to the naked eye, with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.59.[2] An annualparallax shift of10.6692±0.0483 mas[1] provides a distance estimate of about 306 light-years. It is moving closer with a heliocentricradial velocity of −22 km/s,[6] and will makeperihelion passage at a distance of around 119 ly (36.56 pc) in 3.75 million years.[5]
This is aB-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of B9 V.[3] It is spinning rapidly, showing aprojected rotational velocity of 335.[4] The star has an estimated 2.77[4] times themass of the Sun and about 3.1[7] times theSun's radius. It is radiating 75[4] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 10,789 K.[4]
