Gamma Sagittae, Latinized from γ Sagittae, is the brightest star in northern constellation of Sagitta. A single star,[13] it is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.47.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.62 mas as seen from Earth, it is located about 288 light-years from the Sun.[1] It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −34 km/s.[6]

This is a red giant star with a stellar classification of M0 III.[10][14] It is most likely (94% chance) on the red-giant branch of its evolutionary lifespan, fusing hydrogen along a shell to generate energy.[8][15] The star is around 2.35[4] billion years old with roughly 58[11] times the Sun's radius. Mass estimates range from 0.9[8][9] to 1.8[4] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating nearly 700 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,904 K.[12]

Naming

[edit]

In Chinese, 左旗 (Zuǒ Qí), meaning Left Flag, refers to an asterism consisting of γ Sagittae, α Sagittae, β Sagittae, δ Sagittae, ζ Sagittae, 13 Sagittae, 11 Sagittae, 14 Sagittae and ρ Aquilae. Consequently, the Chinese name for γ Sagittae itself is 左旗五 (Zuǒ Qí wǔ, English: the Fifth Star of Left Flag).[16]
