Astronomy:Theta Sagittae
Theta Sagittae (θ Sagittae) is a double star in the northern constellation of Sagitta.[14] With a combined apparent visual magnitude of +6, it is near the limit of stars that can be seen with the naked eye. According to the Bortle scale the star is visible in dark suburban/rural skies. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 22.15 mas as seen from Earth,[15] it is located roughly 147 light years from the Sun.
The binary pair consists of two stars separated by 502 astronomical unit|AU.[16] The primary, component A,[17] is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F3V.[4] This star is about two billion years old[9] with 52% more mass than the Sun.[9] It forms a double star with a magnitude 8.85 companion,[17] which is located at an angular separation of 11.58 arc seconds along a position angle of 331.1°, as of 2011.[14] The star is sometimes described as a triple star, with a 7th magnitude companion 91″ away.[17] This is an unrelated giant star much further away than the close pair.[18] A fainter star separated by nearly 3′ was also listed as a companion by Struve,[17] again just an accidental optical association.[19]
