10 Persei is located around 3,333 parsecs (10,870 ly) distant in the Perseus OB1 stellar association. It lies close to the Double Cluster and is considered a cluster member.[7]
In 1999, 10 Persei was given the variable star designation V554 Persei, after being identified as varying in Hipparcos photometry.[9] Its brightness varies by less than a tenth of a magnitude with no clear period.[4]
