52 Sagittarii is a binary star [12] system in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has the Bayer designation h2 Sagittarii, while 52 Sagittarii is the Flamsteed designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.59. [2] It is located approximately 190 light years away based on parallax, [1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −19 km/s. [6]

The primary component is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B8/9V. [4] Garrison and Gray (1994) assigned it a class of kB8 hB9 HeA0 Va (Sr Fe II), [13] displaying the calcium K line of a B8 class star, the hydrogen lines of a B9 star, and the helium lines of an A0 star, along with overabundances of strontium and iron. It is around 57 [7] million years old with three [7] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.1 [8] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 60.5 [3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,592 K. [3] The star is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 48 km/s. [3]

52 Sagittarii has one companion at an angular separation of 2.4 . This object is magnitude 9.2 with a spectral class in the K2V-K4V range, and is believed to be the source of X-ray emissions from the system. [14] [15]
