91 Aquarii is a triple star[10] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It also bears the Bayer designation Psi1 Aquarii (ψ1 Aqr, ψ1 Aquarii). It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.248.[2] Parallax measurements yield an estimated distance of around Template:Convert from Earth.[11] An extrasolar planet is known to orbit the main star.
Stellar system
91 Aquarii is a triple star system.[10] The primary component, 91 Aqr A, is a giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] This is an evolved star that has expanded to over 10 times the size of the Sun's size. Is mass and age are uncertain, mass estimates range from Template:Solar mass[6] to Template:Solar mass,[8] while age ranges from 1.5[8] to 9 billion years.[9] It is radiating 48 times the Sun's luminosity from its outer envelope at an effective temperature of 4,630 K.[6] This gives it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star.[12]
The primary shares a common proper motion with two others stars, 91 Aqr B and C, suggesting that they are physically connected.[13] The latter pair form a binary system located at an angular separation of 52 arcseconds from the primary.[14] They are 10th magnitude stars separated by 0.3 arcseconds from each other.
| Component | Apparent magnitude (V) | Spectral type |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.22 | K0 III |
| B | 9.62 | K3 V |
| C | 10.10 |
Because it lies near the same line of sight, the binary star system CCDM J23159-0905DE was listed to belong to the 91 Aquarii system according to the CCDM catalogue.[15] However, it is listed as physically unconnected in the WDS catalogue[16] and the pair have a different proper motion than 91 Aquarii.[13] CCDM J23159-0905DE has two components, the 13th magnitude CCDM J23159-0905D 80.4 arcseconds from 91 Aquarii, and the 14th magnitude CCDM J23159-0905E 19.7 arcseconds from 91 Aquarii.
Planetary system
In 2003, the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting 91 Aquarii A was announced,[17] but its confirmation was not formally published until 2013.[7]
