Psi3 Aquarii, Latinized from ψ3 Aquarii, is the Bayer designation for a visual binary star[9] system in the constellation of Aquarius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.98,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements give a distance estimate of roughly 262 light-years (80 parsecs).[1]

The main component of this system is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V.[3] Its companion is an 11th magnitude star 1.5 arcseconds from the primary.[10] This system is an X-ray source with a luminosity of 8.34 × 1029 erg s−1. This radiation most likely comes from the companion star.[9]
