Chi1 Sagittarii

Chi1 Sagittarii (χ1 Sagittarii) is a binary star[6] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.03,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.95 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 252 light years from the Sun. It is advancing through space in the general direction of the Earth with a radial velocity of −43.4 km/s.[4]

This is a visual binary with an orbital period of 5.72 years, an eccentricity of 0.710, and an angular semimajor axis of 69 mas. The primary, component A, is an A-type star showing a mixed spectrum that matches a stellar classification of A3/5 IV/V.[3] Helmut Abt classified it as an Am star with a spectral type of kA5hF0VmF0.[11] This notation indicates it has the calcium K-lines of an A5 star, and the hydrogen and metal lines of an F0 star. It is around 393[7] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 54 km/s.[9] The star has an estimated 1.6[7] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 42.9[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,859 K.[7]
