Rho Andromedae, Latinized from ρ Andromedae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.19,[2] which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye from dark suburban skies. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is at a distance of approximately 162 light-years (50 parsecs) from the Sun.[1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s.[4]

The stellar classification of this star is F5IV-V,[3] showing mixed spectral features of a main sequence and subgiant stage. It is about 1.3[5] billion years old with 3.4[1] times the girth of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 44 km/s.[6] The outer envelope is radiating around 18 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,471 K,[1] giving it the yellow-white hue of an F-type star.[8] X-ray emissions were detected from this star during the EXOSAT mission.[9]


Naming


In Chinese, 天廄 (Tiān Jiù), meaning Celestial Stable, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Andromedae, θ Andromedae and σ Andromedae. Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Andromedae itself is 天廄二 (Tiān Jiù èr, English: the Second Star of Celestial Stable.)[10]

Ро Андромеды (лат. ρ Andromedae), 27 Андромеды (лат. 27 Andromedae), HD 1671 — звезда в созвездии Андромеды. Видимая звёздная величина равна +5.19,[7] благодаря чему звезда может быть доступна для наблюдения невооружённым глазом при отсутствии засветки неба. Измерение параллакса дало оценку расстояния в 158 световых лет.[8]
