66 Arietis (abbreviated 66 Ari) is a double star[3] in the northern constellation of Aries. 66 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.03,[2] putting it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The magnitude 10.4 companion is located at an angular separation of 0.810 arcseconds from the primary along a position angle of 65°.[3] The distance to this pair, as determined from parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, is approximately Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]

The spectrum of the primary component matches a stellar classification of K0 IV,[4] with the luminosity class of IV indicating this is a subgiant star. It has 6 times the radius of the Sun and shines with 18 times the Sun's energy.[5] This energy is radiated from the outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,864 K,[5] giving it the cool orange-hued glow of a K-type star.
