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.
