Summary
70 Aquilae, abbreviated 70 Aql, is a single[13] orange-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 70 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.90.[2] The distance to 70 Aquilae, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 3.5 mas,[1] is around 940 light years. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −9 km/s.[7]

Classification edit
Perkins et al. (1989) found a stellar classification of K4+ III Ba1[3] for this star, suggesting it is a K-type giant with abundance anomaly of barium.[14] Houk and Swift (1999) matched an ordinary giant with a class of K3 III.[4] Many sources[2][8][13][10][14] still use the 1991 Bright Star Catalogue classification of K5 II,[5] which instead suggests a bright giant star.
Size and temperature edit
The interferometry-measured angular diameter of this star, after correcting for limb darkening, is 3.27±0.04 mas,[15] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of roughly 102 times the radius of the Sun.[9] 70 Aquilae is about 63 million years old with 6 times the mass of the Sun.[8] It is radiating 4,072[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,900 K.[2]
