Mu Arietis is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Aries. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from μ Arietis, and abbreviated Mu Ari or μ Ari. This system is approximately Template:Convert distant from Earth, give or take a 8 light-year margin of error, and has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.74.[3] According to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, this means it is faintly visible to the naked eye from dark suburban skies. The system is positioned near the ecliptic and is subject to lunar occultation.[7]

At the heart of this system is a close orbiting pair, designated μ Ari Aa, consisting of a magnitude 6.38 A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 Vp, and a magnitude 8.38 F-type main sequence companion with a classification of F2 V. These two components have an angular separation of 0.04 arcseconds. A third component, designated μ Ari Ab, consists of a magnitude 6.72 star with a classification of A1 V, orbiting the inner pair with a period of 8.845 years and an eccentricity of 0.34.[4] The orbit of this star has been measured using lunar occultations.[7] A smaller fourth component, μ Ari B, at an angular separation of 19.1 arcseconds, has a magnitude of 12.2.[4]
