Epsilon Sagittae (ε Sagittae) is a solitary, [7] yellow-hued star in the northern constellation of Sagitta. With an apparent visual magnitude of +5.64 to +5.67, [2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night. It is a variable star with a small amplitude of 0.03 magnitudes. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.60 mas as seen from Earth, [8] it is located roughly 580 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.1 due to interstellar dust. [3]
This is an evolved, G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8 IIIvar, [3] where the 'var' suffix indicates a variable spectral feature. The star is about 331 million years old with three times the mass of the Sun. [5] It is radiating 185 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,966 K. [1]
Epsilon Sagittae is an optical binary, with a companion of magnitude 8.35 at an angular separation of 87.3 arc seconds along a position angle of 82°, as of 2013. [9] The companion is actually a more distant giant star approximately 7,000 light-years from Earth, with a luminosity 1,800 times that of the Sun and also designated HD 232029. [10]
