47 Aquarii

47 Aquarii, abbreviated 47 Aqr, is a star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 47 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye in good seeing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.135.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 18.0 mas,[1] it is located 181 light years away. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.088 due to interstellar dust.[5] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +48 km/s.[2]
