Binary star system in the constellation Pisces
Psi2 Piscium (ψ2 Piscium ) is a white-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces . It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +5.56.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.66 mas as seen from Earth,[ 1] it is located about 380 light years from the Sun. It has a peculiar velocity of 14.6± 2.9 km/s , indicating it is a runaway star .[ 9]
This is a suspected binary star system,[ 10] with a companion star at an angular separation of 0.357± 0.002 arc seconds along a position angle of 174.99°± 0.30° from the primary, as of 2008. This corresponds to a projected separation of 16.88± 0.62 AU .[ 11] The brighter component is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V.[ 3] The system is a source of X-ray emission with a luminosity of 143.9× 1020 W , which is most likely originating from the cooler companion since A-type main sequence stars are not expected to be magnetically active.[ 12]
