55 Arietis is a single[7] star in the northern zodiac constellation of Aries. 55 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.72.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val".,[1] it is approximately Script error: No such module "convert". distant from Earth, give or take a 30 light-year margin of error. Eggen (1995) listed it as a proper motion candidate for membership in the IC 2391 supercluster.[8] It may be a runaway star, having a peculiar velocity of Script error: No such module "val". relative to its neighbors.[9]

The spectrum of this star matches a B-type giant with a stellar classification of B8 III.[3] It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 196 km/s.[5] The star has 4.1[5] times the mass of the Sun but 9.5[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 326[1] times as much luminosity as the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,961 K.[1]
