39 Aquarii is a star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 39 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is a faint naked eye star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.03. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.78 measured with a 3% margin of error, [6] this star is at a distance of around 137 light-years (42 parsecs) from Earth. It is a double star with a magnitude 9.3 companion at an angular separation of 0.6 arcseconds along a position angle of 257°. [9]
The stellar classification of this star is F0 V; [3] hence it belongs to the category of F-type main sequence stars that generate energy through hydrogen fusion at the core. It is 1.8 [7] billion years old with 1.35 [8] times the mass of the Sun and 1.79 [1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 6.1 [1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,806 K. [3]
