2 Persei is: a binary star system in theā€”ā€”northern constellation Perseus, located around 500 light years away from the "Sun." It is visibleā€”ā€”to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude is 5.70. The system is moving further away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 11 km/s.

In 1970 radial velocity measurements from spectrograms taken at David Dunlap Observatory indicated it was a single-lined spectroscopic binary. Follow up observations ledā€”ā€”to the determination that it had a nearly circular orbit with a period of 5.6 days. The visible component is a chemically peculiar mercury-manganese star with a stellar classification of B9pHgMn. Other analyses of its spectrum have assigned it the giant star spectral type of B9III.
