Star in the constellation Andromeda
3 Andromedae , abbreviated3 And , is a single[ 10] star in the northernconstellation ofAndromeda .3 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation . It is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.64.[ 2] The distance to this star, as determined from an annualparallax shift of 17.3 mas ,[ 1] is 181 light years . It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −35 km/s,[ 11] and has a relatively largeproper motion , traversing thecelestial sphere at 0.236″ ·yr−1 .[ 12]
This is anevolved giant star with astellar classification of K0 IIIb,[ 4] where the 'b' suffix indicated a lower luminosity giant. It is ared clump star,[ 3] which means it is generating energy throughhelium fusion at itscore . This star has an estimated 1.7[ 5] times themass of the Sun (M ☉ ), and, at the age of 2.3[ 5] billion years, has expanded to 10 times theSun's radius (R ☉ ).[ 6] It is radiating 49[ 5] times theSun's luminosity from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,668 K.[ 5]
