35 Aquarii
Star in the constellation Aquarius / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
35 Aquarii is a single[9] star located roughly 2,200 light years away from the Sun in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 35 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.80.[2] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −7 km/s,[2] and is a suspected runaway star that may have been ejected from an open cluster as the result of a binary–binary interaction.[10]

This is a blue giant star with a stellar classification of B2 III;,[3] a massive star that has evolved off the main sequence. It is around 22.5[4] million years old with a relatively low projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.[7] The star has 10[4] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 1,622[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 17,400 K.[6]
