62 Aquilae
Star in the constellation Aquila
62 Aquilae is a single[ 7] star located about 427 light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Aquila . 62 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation . It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.67.[ 2]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III,[ 3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to 23[ 1] times the girth of the Sun . It is 11.2 billion years old with 0.89 times the Sun's mass .[ 5] The star is radiating 153[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,246 K.[ 5]
