44 Aquarii is a single[10] star located 336[1] light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 44 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation.[9] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.75.[2] This body is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +7.4 km/s.[5]

A stellar classification of G6 III[3] indicates this is an evolved giant star, most likely (98% chance) on the horizontal branch,[11] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and expanded. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type.[4] 44 Aquarii is 537[3] million years old with about 2.53[3] times the mass of the Sun and 9[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 62[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,025 K.[7] At this heat, the star has the golden-hued glow of a G-type star.
