4 Sagittarii


4 Sagittarii is a suspected astrometric binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius, located approximately 410 light-years away based on parallax. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74. The system is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +64 km/s.
The visible component is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V. It has a high rate of spin, displaying a projected rotational velocity of 149 km/s. This is giving it an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 14% larger than the polar radius. 4 Sagittarii has 3.23 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 240 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,661 K.
