20 Vulpeculae is single[5] star located around 1,170[1] light years away in the northern constellation of Vulpecula.[8] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.91.[2] The object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −22 km/s.[2]
This is a Be star with a stellar classification of B7 Ve.[4] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 236 km/s (compared to a critical velocity of 332 km/s)[3] and has an estimated polar inclination of 71.1°.[9] The star has four times the mass of the Sun and is radiating around 460 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,050 K.[3]
