Star in the constellation Aquila From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omega1 Aquilae, which is Latinized from ω1 Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.2[2] it is a faint, yellow-white hued star that can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies. From the annual parallax shift of 8.53 mas,[1] the distance to this star can be estimated as 382 light-years (117 parsecs), give or take a 6 light year margin of error. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −14 km/s.[5]

The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of F0 IV.[4] Typically, a luminosity class of IV means that the star is in the subgiant stage. It is rotating rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 115 km/s. This is causing an equatorial bulge that is 5% larger than the polar radius.[9] The star has 2.85[3] times the mass of the Sun and five[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 85 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,766 K.[1]
