Rho1 Sagittarii, Latinized from ρ1 Sagittarii, is a single, [13] variable star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 3.93. [2] The distance to this star is approximately 127 light years based on parallax, [1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +1.2 km/s. [5] It is positioned near the ecliptic and so it can be occulted by the Moon. [14]
This object has a stellar classification of A9IV, [3] matching a subgiant star that is evolving away from the main sequence. It is a low amplitude Delta Scuti variable, ranging from 3.94 to 3.90 magnitude with a period of 0.05 days. [4] The star is 893 [9] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 68 km/s. [11] It has 1.9 [7] times the mass of the Sun and 3.3 [8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 31 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,469 K. [8]
