Rho Andromedae is a star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Its Bayer designation is Latinized from ρ Andromedae, abbreviated Rho And or ρ And, respectively. The star has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.19,[2] which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye from dark suburban skies. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is at a distance of approximately Script error: No such module "convert". from the Sun.[1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s.[4]
The stellar classification of this star is F5IV-V,[3] showing mixed spectral features of a main sequence and subgiant stage. It is about 1.3[5] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 44 km/s.[7] The star has 1.8 times the mass of the Sun and 3.2 times the Sun's girth. The outer envelope is radiating around 18.7 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,674 K,[6] giving it the yellow-white hue of an F-type star.[9] X-ray emissions were detected from this star during the EXOSAT mission.[10]
Naming
In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Celestial Stable, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Andromedae, θ Andromedae, σ Andromedae and seven fainter, unidentified stars. Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Andromedae itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx.)[11]
