AR Piscium is a

light years from the Sun.[1] The motion of this star through the Milky Way suggests it is a member of the intermediate disc population.[2]

Variable X-ray source H0123+075 was identified from the HEAO 1 A-2 experiment and published by F. E. Marshall and associates in 1979. The following year, M. Garcia and associates identified the most probable source star as HD 8357, and determined it to be a RS Canum Venaticorum variable.[8] This has a spectral class of G5 in the Henry Draper Catalogue. Optical observations by D. S. Hall and associates in 1980–1981 confirmed the source star to be optically variable with a period of 12.3±0.1 d.[9] In 1993, AR Psc was identified as an extreme ultraviolet source by K. A. Pounds and associates using ROSAT.[10]

This is a double-lined

pseudosynchronous rotation.[2]
