Epsilon2 Arae is a double star in the southern constellation of Ara. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ε2 Arae, and abbreviated Epsilon2 Ara or ε2 Ara. Based on parallax measurements, it is Script error: No such module "convert". distant from Earth. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.27,[2] this system is faintly visible to the naked eye as a point of light.

The brighter star is a magnitude 5.44 F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V Fe+0.5.[4] The Fe+0.5 notation indicates that it has a somewhat higher than normal abundance of iron. It has an estimated age of 1.8[10] billion years and a relatively high rate of rotation with a projected rotational velocity of 45 km/s.[11] This star has 1.4[10] times the mass of the Sun and 1.8 times the Sun's radius.[2] It is radiating 4.56[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,577 K.[8] The metallicity of the star, a measure of the abundance of more massive elements, is similar to the Sun.[8] It is a candidate pulsating star.[13]

There is a magnitude 8.65 stellar companion, component Ab, at an angular separation of 0.590 arcseconds.[3] The pair have an estimated orbital period of 41.3 years.[9] A common proper motion white dwarf companion, WD 1659-53, lies at an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val".. Designated component C, it is magnitude 13.47 with a classification of DA3.2.[14][5]
