58 Aquarii,abbreviated58 Aqr,is astarin theconstellationofAquarius.58 Aquariiis itsFlamsteed designation.It is a sixth magnitude star with anapparent visual magnitudeof 6.39,[2]which means it is a challenge to view with the naked eye. Based upon an annualparallax shiftof13.4mas,[1]it is located 243light yearsfrom the Sun. This has been identified as avisual binarysystem with anorbital periodof 829.976 days (2.27 years)[10]in a circular orbit (eccentricityof zero).[11]

The primary component has astellar classificationof A9/F0 V,[3]matching amain sequencestar with aspectrumshowing mixed traits of anA/F-type.(Cowley and Fraquelli [1974] has previously assigned it agiant starclass of A8 III.)[4]It is achemically peculiarAm star,showingmetallic lineswith nomagnetic field.[7]The star has 1.7 times themass of the Sunand 2.1 times theSun's radius.It is radiating 12 times theSun's luminosityfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof 7,477 K.[6]
