Description


This is a lower luminosity supergiant star with a stellar classification of B1 Ib.[3] This is an enormous star, with an estimated 26–27[7] times the Sun's radius and 13–16 times the Sun's mass.[7] It has about 47,000 times the luminosity of the Sun and it is radiating this energy at an effective temperature of 20,800 K,[6] giving it the blue-white hue of a B-type star.[10] The spectrum displays anomalously high levels of carbon.[11] Zeta Persei has a strong stellar wind that is expelling 0.23 × 10−6 times the mass of the Sun per year, or the equivalent of the Sun's mass every 4.3 million years.[12]

Zeta Persei has a 9th magnitude companion at an angular separation of 12.9 arcseconds. The two stars have the same proper motion, so they may be physically associated. If so, they are separated by at least 4,000 Astronomical Units.[13] Zeta Persei is a confirmed member of the Perseus OB2 association (Per OB2), also called the Zeta Persei association, which is a moving group of stars that includes 17 massive, high luminosity members with spectral types of O or B, giving them a blue hue. These stars have a similar trajectory through space,[4] suggesting they originated in the same molecular cloud and are about the same age.[14]


Ambiguity


Some sources, including Starry Night (planetarium software), an atlas,[15] and a web site[16] attribute the name 'Atik' to Zeta Persei instead of nearby Omicron Persei.

[es] Menkib

Menkib (ζ Persei / ζ Per / 44 Persei)[1][2] es la tercera estrella con mayor brillo en la constelación de Perseo, por detrás de Mirfak (α Persei) y Algol (β Persei). Su magnitud aparente es +2,85. No debe ser confundida con la vecina Menchib (ξ Persei), ocasionalmente también llamada Menkib. Es miembro de la Asociación estelar Perseus OB2 o «Asociación estelar de Zeta Persei», llamada así por las estrellas de tipo O y B que contiene. Dicha asociación se encuentra a una distancia aproximada del Sistema Solar de 960 años luz.[3]

[ru] Дзета Персея

Дзета Персея (ζ Персея, Менкиб) — звезда в созвездии Персея. Имя происходит от араб. منكب‎, и по-видимому, означает «плечо»[2]. Звезда имеет светимость 2,9m[6], и может быть легко видна невооружённым глазом. Впрочем, если бы можно было бы устранить эффект затемнения межзвёздной пылью, то звезда светила бы гораздо ярче — 1,79m[11].
