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]
