60 Sagittarii is a suspected binary star[10] system in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has the Bayer designation A Sagittarii, while 60 Sagittarii is the Flamsteed designation. This naked-eye object forms the northwest corner of the asterism called the Terebellum and, with an apparent magnitude of approximately 4.84,[2] it is the dimmest of the four stars in the Terebellum. It is located 379 light-years from the Sun, based on parallax, but is moving closer with a radial velocity of −51 km/s.[2]

The visible component is an aging G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G6 III,[4] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to 17[1] the Sun's radius. In the Bright Star Catalogue it was listed with a class of G6 III Ba0.2,[5] suggesting it is a mild barium star and thus might have a white dwarf companion.[10] It is a red clump giant, indicating it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[3] The star is radiating 170[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,997 K.[1]
