Within the constellation's borders there are 177 stars of apparent magnitude 6.5 or greater. [b] [10] Epsilon Pegasi, also known as Enif, marks the horse's muzzle. The brightest star in Pegasus, is an orange supergiant of spectral type K21b that is around 12 times as massive as the Sun and is around 690 light-years distant from Earth. [16]
ι Pegasi, Latinized as Iota Pegasi is a double-lined spectroscopic binary [8] star system located within the northern constellation of Pegasus, along a line between Lambda and Kappa Pegasi. It is visible to the naked eye as a yellow-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 3.77. [2]
Messier 15 or M15 (also designated NGC 7078 and sometimes known as the Great Pegasus Cluster) is a globular cluster in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by Jean-Dominique Maraldi in 1746 and included in Charles Messier 's catalogue of comet -like objects in 1764.
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 − ...
IM Pegasi is a variable binary star system approximately 329 light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus. With an apparent magnitude of 5.7, it is visible to the naked eye. Increased public awareness of it is due to its use as the guide star for the Gravity Probe B general relativity experiment.
U Pegasi is a binary star system in the constellation of Pegasus, abbreviated U Peg.The pair form an eclipsing binary with a combined peak apparent visual magnitude of 9.23, [4] which is far too faint to be visible to the naked eye.
72 Pegasi is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.97. [2] The system is located approximately 550 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax, [1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of ...
σ Pegasi, Latinised as Sigma Pegasi, is a binary star [3] system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.16, [2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 36.66 mas as seen from Earth, [1] the system is located 89 light years distant from the Sun.
