π2 Pegasi, Latinized as Pi2 Pegasi, is a single [8] star in the northern constellation Pegasus. It is yellow-white in hue and visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.28. [2] The distance to this object is approximately 263  light years based on parallax, [1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +5 km/s. [2] This star is an outlying member of the Ursa Major Moving Group. [9]

This object has a stellar classification of F5 III, [3] matching an aging giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present it has 8.5 [6] times the radius of the Sun. The star is 530 [5] million years old with 2.48 [5] times the Sun's mass. It shows a high rotation rate considering its evolutionary status, with a projected rotational velocity of 140 km/s. [4] The star has been noted as a possible variable shell star. [10] Pi2 Pegasi is radiating 103 times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,300 K. [6]
