Phi Persei (φ Persei, φ Per) is a Class B2Vpe, fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Perseus. Due to its isolation and distance from Cassiopeia, Andromeda and the rest of Perseus, John Flamsteed never took thought to assign a number and constellation to Phi Persei.
Phi Persei is binary consisting of a blue main sequence primary of class B2 and an apparent magnitude of 4.01 and a hot subdwarf secondary. Phi Persei is also a variable star with rapid variations in its brightness and spectrum. The Phi Persei stellar system is located about 716 light-years from Earth.
