57 Persei, or m Persei, is a suspected triple star[12] system in the northern constellation of Perseus. It is at the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye, having a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.08.[2] The annual parallax shift of 16.90 mas provides a distance estimate of about 193 light years. 57 Persei is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of about −23[7] km/s and will make perihelion in around 2.6 million years at a distance of roughly 22 ly (6.6 pc).[13]

The primary member, designated component A, is a magnitude 6.18,[12] yellow-white hued F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F0 V,[4] indicating it is generating energy by fusing its core hydrogen. It is an estimated 1.6[9] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 90 km/s.[4] The star has 1.3[9] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 10.7[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 6,615 K.[9]

An unseen companion has been identified via slight changes to the proper motion of the primary.[12] The third member, component B,[14] is a magnitude 6.87 F-type star at an angular separation of 120.13 arc seconds.[12] This star has a different parallax and space velocity than the primary,[1][3] so it may just be a wide visual companion.[14] There are three other nearby visual companions that are not associated with the 57 Persei system.[14]
