astro.wikisort.org - StarEpsilon Andromedae, Latinized from ε Andromedae, is a star in the constellation of Andromeda.[4] It can be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.4.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 21.04 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located 155 light years from the Sun. The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −84 km/s.[6] Its orbit in the Milky Way is highly eccentric, causing it to move rapidly relative to the Sun and its neighboring stars.[8]

Properties
This is an evolved G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G6 III Fe−3 CH1.[3] The suffix notation indicates there is a strong underabundance of iron in the spectrum, and an overabundance of cyanogen (CN). ε Andromedae is believed to be a red clump[9] star which is fusing helium in its core. It has about the same mass as the Sun, but has expanded to nine times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 51 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,082 K.[6]
Naming
In Chinese, 奎宿 (Kuí Sù), meaning Legs (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of ε Andromedae, η Andromedae, 65 Piscium, ζ Andromedae, δ Andromedae, π Andromedae, ν Andromedae, μ Andromedae, β Andromedae, σ Piscium, τ Piscium, 91 Piscium, υ Piscium, φ Piscium, χ Piscium and ψ¹ Piscium. Consequently, the Chinese name for ε Andromedae itself is 奎宿四 (Kuí Sù sì, English: the Fourth Star of Legs.)[10]

[de] Epsilon Andromedae
ε Andromedae (Epsilon Andromedae, kurz ε And) ist ein dem bloßen Auge nur relativ lichtschwach erscheinender Stern im Sternbild Andromeda. Er besitzt eine scheinbare Helligkeit von 4,37m.[2] Nach Parallaxen-Messungen der Raumsonde Gaia ist der Stern etwa 169 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt.[1] Er nähert sich unserem Sonnensystem mit einer Radialgeschwindigkeit von 84 km/s.[1] Sein Orbit um das Zentrum der Milchstraße ist im Gegensatz zu jenem der Sonne stark exzentrisch, weswegen er sich relativ zur Sonne und deren Nachbarsternen sehr schnell bewegt. Aus seiner Radialgeschwindigkeit und Eigenbewegung ergibt sich, dass er eine hohe Gesamtrelativgeschwindigkeit zur Sonne von 118 km/s besitzt. Die Sonne umkreist das Milchstraßenzentrum in einer ziemlich konstanten Entfernung von 32.000 Lichtjahren, während sich ε And derzeit vom Inneren der Galaxis her kommend auf die Sonne zubewegt und in der Folge an ihr vorbeiziehen und in die Außenzone der Milchstraße vordringen wird. Die Minimaldistanz des Orbits von ε And zum Milchstraßenzentrum beträgt 14.000 Lichtjahre, die größte Entfernung 35.000 Lichtjahre.[2]
