49 Andromedae (abbreviated 49 And) is a star in the constellation Andromeda. 49 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation though it also bears the Bayer designation A Andromedae. It is visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.269.[2] The distance to 49 Andromedae, as determined from its annual parallax shiftof10.4 mas,[1] is around 314 light-years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11.5 km/s.[2]
With an estimated age of 1.75 Gyr[2] years, this is an aging red-clump[6] giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III,[3] indicating it is generating energy by helium fusion at its core. The spectrum displays "slightly strong" absorption linesofcyanogen (CN).[3] It has 2.07[2] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11[5] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 71[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperatureof4,879 K.[2]
