26 Aquarii is a single^[6] star located approximately 960^[1] light years away from the Sun in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 26 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation.^[5] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.66.^[2] This object is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +8 km/s.^[2]

Houk and Swift (1999) listed a stellar classification of K2(III)^[3] for 26 Aquarii, corresponding to an evolved K-type giant of uncertain luminosity class. Bartkevicius and Lazauskaite (1997) found spectral traits of MD-Ba?-K3 II–III, K2 Ia, suggesting some type of giant K-type star with a suspected metal deficiency (MD) of barium.^[7] It has 54.5 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 842 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,210 K.^[1]
