5 Andromedae is a single,[8] yellow-white huedstar in the northernconstellation ofAndromeda, abbreviated 5 And.[1] Itsdesignation comes from a catalogue of stars by English astronomerJohn Flamsteed, published in 1712. The star is faintly visible to thenaked eye, having anapparent visual magnitude of 5.68.[1] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 29.1[2] mas as seen from Earth, it is located 112 light years away. 5 Andromedae is moving closer to the Sun with aradial velocity of −2.6 km/s.[1] It has a relatively highproper motion, advancing across thecelestial sphere at the rate of 0.201 arc seconds per year.[9]
This is an ordinaryF-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of F5 V.[3] It is estimated to be 2.3[4] billion years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 9.7 km/s.[6] The star has 1.39[4] times themass of the Sun and 1.74 times theSun's radius.[5] It is radiating 5.6[1] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of about 6,605 K.[4]
Within Andromeda it is the second of a northerly chainasterism – 7, 8, 11 are further south-westward, with3 Andromedae in the other direction.
