Mu Persei (Mu Per, μ Persei, μ Per) is a binary star in the constellation of Perseus, with an apparent magnitude of +4.16. The primary component is a yellow G-type supergiant. It is approximately 900 light years from Earth. With an effective temperature of about 5400 kelvins and a radius of 53 solar radii, this star has the luminosity of about 2030 times that of the Sun.[6] Mu Persei is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 284 days and an eccentricity of about 0.06.[5]
Mu Persei is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 35.6 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 23,900 and 32,400 light years from the center of the Galaxy.[9]
Mu Persei came closest to the Sun 5.6 million years ago when it had brightened to magnitude 3.25 from a distance of 600 light years.[9]
Naming
In Chinese, 天船 (Tiān Chuán), meaning Celestial Boat, refers to an asterism consisting of μ Persei, η Persei, γ Persei, α Persei, ψ Persei, δ Persei, 48 Persei and HD 27084. Consequently, μ Persei itself is known as 天船七 (Tiān Chuán qī, Template:Lang-en.)[10]
