AR Cephei (AR Cep) is a variable star in the constellation Cepheus. It is classified as a semiregular star[7][8] with a spectral type of M4III.[3]
Aernout de Sitter discovered the star in 1933.[3][9] It was given its variable star designation, AR Cephei, in 1939.[9]
AR Cephei is located approximately 1,010 light-years (309 parsecs) from the Solar System, and has a radial velocity of -16 km/s, meaning that it is moving toward the Sun at ~16 kilometers every second.[1]
