Nu Arietis is a white-hued star in the northern constellation of Aries. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ν Arietis, and abbreviated Nu Ari or ν Ari. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.43.[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from Earth,[2] it is located approximately 270 light years from the Sun. It is moving further away with a radial velocity of 8 km/s.[5]

This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A7 V.[4] Nu Arietis has an estimated 1.9 times the mass of the Sun and about 3.3 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 37.6 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,889 K.[6] It is roughly 621[8] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 133 km/s.[7]

A close companion was discovered in 2016 using the direct spectral detection method. This object has the same mass as the Sun and an effective temperature of 5,551 K.[8]
