23 Andromedae, abbreviated 23 And, is a presumed single[9] star in the constellation Andromeda, although it has been a suspected spectroscopic binary.[10] 23 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. Its apparent visual magnitude is 5.71,[2] which indicates it is dimly visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions. The distance to 23 And, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 26.8 mas,[1] is 121.6 light years. The star is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −27 km/s.[4] It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.191″ per year.[11]

The stellar classification of 23 And is F0 IV,[3] matching an F-type subgiant star that is in the process of evolving into a red giant. It displays a slight microvariability with a frequency of 0.85784 d−1 and an amplitude of 0.0062 magnitude.[12] The star is around 759[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 36 km/s.[3] It has 1.43[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 50[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,089 K.[6]
