64 Aquilae, abbreviated64 Aql, is astar in the equatorialconstellation ofAquila.64 Aquilae is itsFlamsteed designation. It is a faint star that requires good viewing conditions to see, having anapparent visual magnitude of 5.97.[2] The distance to 64 Aql, as determined from its annualparallax shift of 21.42 mas,[1] is 152.2 light years. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by anextinction of 0.029 due tointerstellar dust.[5] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −3.6 km/s.[4]
This is anevolvedgiant star currently on thered giant branch[5] with astellar classification of K1 III/IV.[3] Theluminosity class of 'III/IV' indicates thespectrum shows a blend of features matching asubgiant and giant star. It is around 6.2 billion years old with 1.17 times themass of the Sun and has expanded to 4.5 times theSun's radius.[4] The star is radiating 11[2] times theSun's luminosity from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,786 K.[4]
