42 Aquilae, abbreviated 42 Aql, is a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 42 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.45.[2] 42 Aql is located some 104.6 light years away, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 31.2 mas.[1] it is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −38 km/s,[4] and is predicted to come to within 52 light-years of the Sun in around 752,000 years.[2]
The stellar classification of this star is F3 IV/V,[3] which matches an F-type star with blended spectral traits of a main sequence star and a subgiant star. It is around 1.3[6] billion years old with a relatively high rate of rotation, having a projected rotational velocity of 87 km/s.[5] The star has 1.26[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 5.76[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,749 K.[4] These coordinates are a source of X-ray emission, which is most likely (99.3% chance) coming from the star.[9]
