16 Aquarii, abbreviated 16 Aqr, is a star in the constellation of Aquarius. 16 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation. It is a faint star, just visible to the naked eye, with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.869.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.5 mas,[1] it is located about 342 light years away. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −6 km/s,[5] and is predicted to come within 220 light-years in 6.8 million years.[4]

At the estimated age of 740 million years, this is an aging giant star currently on the red giant branch[7] with a stellar classification of G7 III.[3] This indicates it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and is generating energy via hydrogen fusion along a shell surrounding a hot core of inert helium. The star has 2.3 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 8 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 37 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,096 K.[7]
