Rho1 Cephei (ρ1 Cephei) is a double star located in the northern constellation of Cepheus. As of 2014, the pair had an angular separation of 0.29 arc seconds along a position angle of 211.1°. This corresponds to a projected separation of 18.1 AU.[3] Rho1 Cephei is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.84,[2] and it forms an optical pair with the brighter star Rho2 Cephei. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 15.83 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] Rho1 Cephei is located about 206 light years from the Sun.
The primary component is a chemically peculiar Am star with a stellar classification of A2m.[3] It has twice the mass of the Sun and is around 320 million years old.[3] The smaller companion may be the source of the X-ray emission from this location, as stars similar to the primary component do not generally produce detectable levels of X-rays.[6]
