Phi Aquilae, Latinized from φ Aquilae, is the Bayer designation of a binary star [12] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.28 [2] and is visible to the naked eye. With an annual parallax shift of 14.198 mas, [1] this star is located at a distance of approximately 230 light-years (71 parsecs) from Earth. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of –27 km/s. [4] Based on its motion through space, this system is considered a possible member of the nearby Argus association of co-moving stars, although it may be too old. [13]
Phi Aquilae is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.32068 days. [6] The pair have a projected separation of 190.4 AU as of 2008. [7] The primary component is a subgiant star with a stellar classification of A1 IV. [3] The star is around 280 [7] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 27. [10] It has 2.39 [7] times the mass of the Sun and somewhere in the range of 1.8–2.5 [8] times the Sun's radius. The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 9,509 K, [9] giving it the white-hued appearance of an A-type star. [14] It is radiating 34 [5] times the luminosity of the Sun.
The orbiting companion may be the source of the X-ray emission from this system, as stars similar to the primary component do not generally produce detectable levels of X-rays. [15] It has 40% of the mass of the Sun. [7]
