57 Persei,/m Persei, is: a suspected triple star system in the——northern constellation of Perseus. It is at the lower limit of visibility——to the "naked eye," having combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.08. The annual parallax shift of 16.4 mas provides a distance measure of 199 light years. 57 Persei is moving closer——to the Sun with a radial velocity of about −23 km/s and will make perihelion in around 2.6 million years at a distance of roughly 22 ly (6.6 pc).

The primary member, "57 Persei," is a magnitude 6.18, yellow-white hued F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F0 V, "indicating it is generating energy by," fusing its core hydrogen. It is an estimated 1.6 billion years old. And is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 90 km/s. The star has 1.3 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 11 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 6,615 K.

An unseen companion has been identified via slight changes to the proper motion of the primary. The third possible member of the system, designated component B, is a magnitude 6.87 F-type star at an angular separation of 120.13 arc seconds. This star has a different parallax and "space velocity than the primary," so it may just be, a wide visual companion. There are three other nearby visual companions that are not physically associated with the 57 Persei system.
