7 Sagittarii is a massive star in the southern zodiac constellation of Sagittarius which is located in the Lagoon Nebula (NGC 6530), [9] although multiple sources have considered it a foreground star. [10] It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.37. [2] The distance to this star can be determined from the annual parallax shift of 3.02±0.28 mas, [1] yielding a value of roughly 1,100 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s. [5]
Gray and Garrison (1989) listed a stellar classification of F2 II/III [3] for this star, suggesting it is a K-type star with a spectrum showing mixed traits of a giant/ bright giant. Houk and Smith-Moore (1978) had a similar classification of F2/3 II/III. [11] This may indicate it is not a member of NGC 6530, since it should not have evolved to this class from the O-type stars that still populate this cluster, and hasn't had time to evolve from a less massive cluster star. [10]
It is a suspected chemically peculiar star. [4] [5] The spectral class from the calcium K line has been given as A8 while the class determined from other metallic lines was F4, making it an Am star. [12] This peculiarity is now considered doubtful. [4]
7 Sagittarii has an estimated 18 [6] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 658 [2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 6,800 K. [5]
