Light curves for b Persei. The top panel, plotted from TESS data,[12] shows the variability of the inner binary pair. The lower panels, plotted from AAVSO data,[13] show two eclipses.

b Persei (also known as HD 26961) is a spectroscopic triple star in the constellation Perseus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.60,[6] and it is about 320 light years away.[1]

In addition to the primary, an A-type giant, there is a smaller and cooler companion in a 1.53 day orbit, probably an F-class star around absolute magnitude 3.0, and a more distant companion (star C or Ac) in an orbit calculated to be 702 days long.[6] The close binary pair forms a rotating ellipsoidal variable with a 1.53 day period. Star C forms an Algol-type variable system with the close binary, showing both primary eclipses (when star C passes in front of the inner pair) and secondary eclipses (when the inner pair passes in front of star C).[14] Timings of the eclipses show a 705.4-day period.[9]
