Phi Aquilae is a binary star[13] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from φ Aquilae, and abbreviated Phi Aql or φ Aql. The system has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.28[3] and is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light. With an annual parallax shift of 14.7 mas,[2] this star is located at a distance of approximately 221 light-years (68 parsecs) from Earth. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −27 km/s.[6] Based on its motion through space, this system is a candidate member of the nearby Argus association of co-moving stars, although it may be too old.[14]

Phi Aquilae is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.32067 days.[5] The pair have a projected separation of 190.4 AU as of 2008.[8] The primary component is a subgiant star with a stellar classification of A1 IV.[4] The star is around 280[8] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 27 km/s.[11] It has 2.39[8] times the mass of the Sun and somewhere in the range of 1.8–2.5[9] times the Sun's radius. The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 9,509 K,[10] giving it the white-hued appearance of an A-type star.[15] It is radiating 34[1] times the luminosity of the Sun.

The orbiting companion may be the source of the X-ray emission from this system, as stars similar to the primary component do not generally produce detectable levels of X-rays.[16] It has 40% of the mass of the Sun.[8] Based on photometric data from the TESS mission, the pair may undergo grazing eclipses. This implies an orbital inclination of at least 79°, and constrains the mass of the secondary to 0.5 M☉.[5]

A third component of this system was detected during the VAST survey. This faint component lies at an angular separation of 2.83 arcseconds, for a projected separation of 190 AU and an estimated orbital period of over 1,500 years.[5]
