62 Aquilae is a single[7] star located about 427 light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 62 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.67.[2]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to 23[1] times the girth of the Sun. It is 11.2 billion years old with 0.89 times the Sun's mass.[5] The star is radiating 153[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,246 K.[5]
