31 Persei is a single[13] star in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.05.[2] This star is located around 172 parsecs (560 ly) away from the Sun,[14] and it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −1.6 km/s.[5] It is likely a member of the Alpha Persei Cluster.[15]

This object is a massive B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B5V[3] and it is currently generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is around 234[9] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 260 km/s.[10] The star has 4.6[7] times the mass of the Sun and about 3.4[8] times the radius of the Sun. It is radiating 950[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,301 K.[6]
