λ Persei, Latinized as Lambda Persei, is a star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.29.[2] This object is located approximately 422 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.[4]

This object has a stellar classification of A0IVn,[3] matching an A-type subgiant star with "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 196 km/s,[8] which is giving the star an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 16% larger than the polar radius.[11] Unusually for a star of this type, spectra show weak emission features among the Hydrogen lines, which may be due to plage regions on the surface caused by an implied magnetic field.[12] The star is 345[9] million years old and is radiating 348[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,585 K.[7]

In Chinese astronomy, Lambda Persei is called 積水, Pinyin: Jīshuǐ, meaning Stored Water, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Stored Water asterism, Stomach mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[13]
