26 Arietis is a variable star in the northern constellation of Aries. 26 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation; it also bears the variable star designation UU Arietis. The apparent visual magnitude of this star is 6.14, [5] which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, is within the naked eye visibility limit in dark rural skies. The annual parallax shift of 13.78 mas [2] is equivalent to a distance of approximately 215 light-years (66 parsecs) from Earth. The star is receding from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +15 km/s. [6]
This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A9 V. [4] It is a Delta Scuti variable [7] with a variability period of 0.0676 days and an amplitude of 0.010 in magnitude. [11] The star is around a billion years old with 1.74 [8] times the mass of the Sun and 2.32 [2] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 15 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,430 K. [7]
