Star in the constellation Andromeda
62 Andromedae is a single[ 12] star in the northernconstellation Andromeda .[ 1] 62 Andromedae is theFlamsteed designation , abbreviated62 And ;[ 11] it also bears theBayer designation ofc Andromedae .[ 10] It is bright enough to be seen by thenaked eye , with anapparent magnitude of 5.31. Based upon parallax measurements made during theGaia mission, it is at a distance of roughly 273 light-years (84 pc) from Earth.[ 2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −30 km/s,[ 6] and is predicted to come to within 144.6 light-years in 1.6 million years.[ 1]
This is anA-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A0 V.[ 13] Abt and Morrel (1995) gave it a class of A1 III,[ 14] [ 1] matching a moreevolved giant star . The star has 2.42[ 8] times themass of the Sun , about 1.8[ 3] times theSun's radius , and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 86 km/s.[ 8] It is radiating 45[ 8] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 9,572 K.[ 8] 62 And is about 57% of the way through its main sequence lifetime.[ 8]
