Rho2 Sagittarii (ρ2 Sagittarii) is a star in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent visual magnitude of +5.87,[2] it is near the lower limit of stars that can be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.82 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 330 light years from the Sun.
This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III.[3] As a result of a 1997 lunar occultation, a companion star was discovered at an angular separation of 21 mas. It appears to be an A-type main sequence star with a class of around A5. This companion was not detected during prior occultations by the Moon.[8]
