Phi Sagittarii, Latinized from φ Sagittarii, is an interferometric binary star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.17,[2] it is the ninth-brightest star in the constellation and is readily visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of roughly 239 light-years (73 parsecs) from the Earth.[1] It is receding with a radial velocity of +21.5 km/s.[2]
The stellar classification of this star has been rated at B8.5 III,[3] with the luminosity class of III indicating it is a giant star evolved away from the main sequence after it has exhausted the hydrogen at its core. This energy is being radiated from the star's outer envelope at an effective temperature of 12487 K,[6] which produces the blue-white hue typical of B-type stars.[9]
This star has been catalogued as a spectroscopic binary[10] and a companion was apparently detected through lunar occultation.[11] However, the latter was pointed out as spurious.[7][12] Interferometric observations taken in 2017 finally revealed that Phi Sgr is indeed a binary by resolving a companion with a near-infrared K band flux ratio of 6% (corresponding to a mass of 1.6 M☉) at a separation of 17.7 mas (1.3 au).[13]
