64 Aquilae, abbreviated 64 Aql, is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 64 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is a faint star that requires good viewing conditions to see, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.97.[2] The distance to 64 Aql, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 2Script error: No such module "val".,[1] is 152.2 light years. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.029 due to interstellar dust.[5] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3.6 km/s.[4]
This is an evolved giant star currently on the red giant branch[5] with a stellar classification of K1 III/IV.[3] The luminosity class of 'III/IV' indicates the spectrum shows a blend of features matching a subgiant and giant star. It is around 6.2 billion years old with 1.17 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 4.5 times the Sun's radius.[4] The star is radiating 11[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,786 K.[4]
