Pi Piscium (π Piscium) is a spectroscopic binary[3] star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.60.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.50 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is 114 light years distant. It is a member of the thin disk population of the Milky Way.[7]
The primary, of apparent magnitude 5.56,[3] is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F0 V.[4] At the estimated age of two billion years,[5] it is about 55% of the way through its main sequence lifetime[8] and still has a relatively high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 105.9 km/s.[2] The star has 1.42 times the mass of the Sun and 1.68[a] of the Sun's radius. It is radiating 5.5[b] times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 6,810 K.[3] At that temperature, Pi Piscium A has a yellow-white hue, as many F-type stars.[9]
The secondary, of apparent magnitude 9.56, is a K-dwarf star. It is 0.75 times as massive than the Sun, 0.69[a] times as large, and has 21%[b] of the luminosity. Its effective temperature is 4,700 K,[3] giving it an orange hue typical of K-type stars.[9]
Analysis of its motion suggest Pi Piscium may be a member of the Ursa Major association, but higher-quality observations are needed to confirm this.[3]
In Chinese, 右更 (Yòu Gèng), meaning Official in Charge of the Pasturing, refers to an asterism consisting of π Piscium, η Piscium, ρ Piscium, ο Piscium and 104 Piscium. Consequently, the Chinese name for π Piscium itself is 右更三 (Yòu Gèng sān, English: the Third Star of Official in Charge of the Pasturing.)[10]
