HD 221525 is a single[7] star near the north celestial pole[5] in the constellation Cepheus. At an apparent magnitude of 5.56,[2] it can be seen with the naked eye under dark skies. It is about 30 times fainter than the nearby prominent star Polaris.[8] Based upon parallax measurements, HD 221525 is located at a distance of approximately 317 light years from the Sun,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −11 km/s.[2]
This object is an A-type star with a stellar classification of A7IV[4] or A8III,[3] suggesting it is an evolving star on the subgiant or giant branch, respectively. It has a relatively high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 110 km/s.[4] The star has four[1] times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 44[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,466 K.[1]
