Epsilon Pegasi (Latinised from ε Pegasi, abbreviated Epsilon Peg, ε Peg), formally named Enif / ˈ iː n ɪ f /, is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. With an average apparent visual magnitude of 2.4, [3] this is a second-magnitude star that is readily visible to
Beta Pegasi (β Pegasi, abbreviated Beta Peg, β Peg), formally named Scheat / ˈ ʃ iː æ t /, [12] [13] is a red giant star and the second-brightest star (after Epsilon Pegasi) in the constellation of Pegasus. It forms the upper right corner of the Great Square of Pegasus, [14] a prominent rectangular asterism.
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 − ...
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.
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]
Xi Pegasi (ξ Peg, ξ Pegasi) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the northern constellation of Pegasus, the winged horse.Located in the horse's neck, the primary component is an F-type main sequence star that is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.2. [2]
