Kappa2 Sagittarii2 Sagittarii) is a binary star[3] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.64.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.47 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this system is located around 310 light years from the Sun. They are receding with a radial velocity of +2.6 km/s.[6]

This is a visual binary system with the components orbiting each other over a period of roughly 700 years, having an eccentricity of 0.4 and a semimajor axis of 2 arc seconds.[7] The pair have a combined spectral type that matches an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A5 V.[4] The individual components are of estimated types A1 and A6.[5] The primary member, component A, is a magnitude 6.04[3] star with 1.85[8] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 38[9] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 7,990 K.[8] The companion, component B, is visual magnitude 7.12.[3]

There are two visual companions: component C is a magnitude 14.3 star at an angular separation of 18.6 arc seconds along a position angle of 266°, as of 2000; component D is magnitude 14.0 with a separation of 29.8 arc seconds along a position angle of 219°, also as of 2000.[11]
