43 Persei is a binary star[7][11] system in the northern constellation Perseus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.28.[2] The system is located around 38.5 parsecs (125.4 ly) distant from the Sun, based on parallax.[1]

This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 30.4 days and an eccentricity of 0.6.[7] The primary component is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5V,[3] a star that is fusing its core hydrogen. It has 1.54[8] times the mass of the Sun, 2.4[8] times the Sun's radius, and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 17 km/s (11 mi/s).[10] The star shines 10.8[2] times brighter than the Sun at an effective temperature of 6,609 K (6,336 °C; 11,437 °F).[9]

There are distant companions B (separation 75.5" and magnitude 10.66), C (separation 85.6" and magnitude 12.18), and D (separation 68" and magnitude 13.43).[12]
