25 Vulpeculae is a single[2] star in the northern constellation of Vulpecula, located roughly 1,170 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.50[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s.[5]
This is a Be star with a stellar classification of B6 IVe,[3] matching the spectrum of an aging subgiant with a circumstellar disk of ionized gas. Cowley (1972) had it rated as a more evolved giant star with a class of B8 IIIn,[9] where the 'n' notation indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 160 km/s.[7] The star has 7 times the mass of the Sun and 11 times the Sun's radius.[6] It is radiating 1,345 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,170 K.[7]
