4 Andromedae, abbreviated 4 And, is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 4 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.308.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.7 mas[1] as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located 337 light years away. The star is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s.[4] It has a magnitude 11.7 visual companion at an angular separation of 51.10″ along a position angle of 348°, as of 2002.[9]

At the age of 2.2[5] billion years, this is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K5 III,[3] having consumed the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. It has 1.6[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 26[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 170[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,275 K.[5]
