 | | Delta (Alpheratz), the brightest, actually belongs to Andromeda as Alpha Andromedae, leaving Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Pegasi (Markab, Scheat, and Algenib) ranking 3-2-4 in the constellation and 2-1-3 in the Square, Algenib the faintest of them. |
 | | Second magnitude (2.83) as viewed from Earth, Algenib is a brilliant hot blue class B (B2) star with a high temperature of 23,200 Kelvin. |
 | | From its distance of 335 light years, and allowing for a lot of ultraviolet radiation, we find a luminosity 4000 times that of the Sun (one suggestion as high as 12,000, though that seems extreme) and a radius of 4.5 solar. |
