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. It has a relatively high proper motion, advancing across the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.524 arcseconds per year.^[11]

The primary, component A, is a yellow-white hued F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F6 V.^[4] However, Frasca et al. (2009) lists it as a somewhat more evolved F-type subgiant star with a class of F7 IV.^[5] At the age of 2.7^[9] billion years, it has an inactive chromosphere^[4] and is spinning with a leisurely projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s.^[8] It has a faint, magnitude 13.23^[12] red dwarf companion, designated component B, at an angular separation of 248 arc seconds.^[3] The system is most likely (96% chance) a member of the thin disk population of the Milky Way.^[6]
