Theta2 Sagittarii, Latinized from θ2 Sagittarii, is a solitary[10] star in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.30.[2] The star is progressing in the general direction of the Sun with a radial velocity of −17.60 km/s.[4] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.62 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 158 light years from the Sun. The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.6 km/s.[4]
The spectrum of Theta2 Sagittarii matches a stellar classification of A4/A5 IV,[3] indicating that, at the estimated age of 809 million years,[6] this is an evolving A-type subgiant star. It is a suspected Am star and may display photometric variability, at least during a 1992 observation period.[11] The star has an estimated 1.93[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 14[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,113 K.[6] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 45.2 km/s.[8]
Theta2 Sagittarii has a pair of visual companions. Component B is a magnitude 11.3 star at an angular separation of 32.8 arc seconds along a position angle of 165°, as of 2000. Component C lies at an angular separation of 1.5 arc seconds along a position angle of 104° from component B, as of 1965.[12] Neither is physically associated with Theta2 Sagittarii itself.[10]
