Star in the constellation Aquarius
67 Aquarii is a star located 484[ 1] light years away from the Sun in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius . 67 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation .[ 9] It is a dim, blue-white hued star near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.40.[ 2] At the distance of this star, its visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.11 due to interstellar dust .[ 8] The position of this star near the ecliptic means it is subject to lunar eclipses .[ 10]
This is a late B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B7.5 V,[ 4] which indicates it is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core . It is 316[ 8] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 205 km/s;[ 3] the critical velocity for this star is 377 km/s.[ 7] 67 Aquarii has 2.46[ 3] times the mass of the Suns and about double the Sun's radius .[ 6] It is radiating 42[ 3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,257 K.[ 3]
