62 Andromedae is a single[12] star in the northern constellation Andromeda.[1] 62 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation, abbreviated 62 And;[11] it also bears the Bayer designation of c Andromedae.[10] It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude of 5.31. Based upon parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission, it is at a distance of roughly 273 light-years (84 pc) from Earth.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s,[7] and is predicted to come to within 144.6 light-years in 1.6 million years.[1]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V.[13] Abt and Morrel (1995) gave it a class of A1 III,[14][1] matching a more evolved giant star. The star has 2.4 times the mass of the Sun, about 2.6 times the Sun's radius,[3] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 86 km/s.[4] It is radiating 50 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,572 K.[3] 62 And is about 57% of the way through its main sequence lifetime.[4]
