Upsilon Pegasi, Latinised from υ Pegasi, is a star within the great square[10] in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has the proper name Alkarab /ˈælkəræb/.[11] This object has a yellow-white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.40.[2] It is located at a distance of approximately 170 light-years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −8.6 km/s.[5] The star is moving through the galaxy at a speed of 50.6 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected galactic orbit carries it between 18,600 and 26,300 light-years from the center of the galaxy.[6]

This object is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of F8III.[4] It is currently in the Hertzsprung gap and is a source of X-ray emission.[3] The star has 2.2[7] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 73.4 km/s.[3] It has an iron abundance of −0.01 dex, or 97.7% of the Sun's. Upsilon Pegasi has six times the girth of the Sun and is radiating 43 times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 6,061 K.[8]
