XX Persei is a semiregular variable star of sub-type SRc, indicating a cool supergiant. The General Catalogue of Variable Stars gives the period as 415 days.[4] It also shows a long secondary period which was originally given at 4,100 days.[7] A more recent study shows only slow variations with a period of 3,150 ± 1,000 days.[2] Another study failed to find any long period up to 10,000 days.[10]
Distance
The most likely distance of XX Per is 2,290 parsecs, from assumed membership of the Perseus OB1 association.[11]
Characteristics
XX Per is a red supergiant of spectral type M4Ib with an effective temperature below 4,000 K. It has a large infrared excess, indicating surrounding dust at a temperature of 900 K, but no masers have been detected.[12][13]
XX Persei has a mass of 16 solar masses, above the limit beyond which stars end their lives as supernovae.[7]
Companion
XX Persei has a companion of magnitude 9.7 20.5" away.[3] The combined spectral type has been given as M4Ib + B7V,[3] while the UV spectrum of the companion has been used to derive a spectral classification of A.[14]
