51 Aquilae(abbreviated51 Aql) is astarin theequatorialconstellationofAquila.51 Aquilaeis itsFlamsteed designation.It has anapparent visual magnitudeof 5.39,[2]which means it isfaintly visible to the naked eye.Based upon an annualparallaxshift of 35.88mas,[1]the distance to this star is around 90.9light-years(27.9parsecs).
This is anF-type main sequence starwith astellar classificationofF5 V Fe-1 CH-0.7;[3]where the 'Fe-1' and 'CH-0.7' represent abundance deficiencies of iron and the molecule CN, respectively. It is about 1.6[5]billion years old and is spinning relatively quickly with aprojected rotational velocityof 77.5 km/s.[6]Theouter atmospherehas aneffective temperatureof 6,812 K,[3]giving it the yellow-white hue characteristic of anF-type star.[8]
