1 Pegasi (1 Peg) is a triple star[10] system in the constellation Pegasus, located approximately 156 light years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.09.[2] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s.[4]

The primary component is a giant with a stellar classification of K1III,[3] a star that has exhausted the hydrogen supply at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. Estimated to be 1.6 billion years old, 1 Pegasi has 1.6 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to twelve times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 64 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,725 K.[6]
There are several companions in addition to the primary. The brightest, component B, is a magnitude 9.3, K-type main-sequence star with a class of K0 V orbiting at an angular separation of 36.6" from the primary; it is itself a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.042 ± 0.011 years and eccentricity of 0.290±0.022.[11] Visual companions C, with magnitude 12.9 and separation 64.7", and D, with magnitude 9.6 and separation 5.3", have been reported.[12]
