Theta1 Sagittarii (θ1 Sagittarii) is a close binary star [10] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.37. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.29 mas as seen from Earth, [1] this star is located around 520 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.24 due to interstellar dust. [11]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of just 2.1 days in a circular orbit. [5] The visible member, component A, is a B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B3 IVp. [3] It is around 33 [6] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 73 km/s. [3] The primary has 6.6 [6] times the mass of the Sun and about 5.6 [7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 2,271 [8] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 17,900 K. [8]
