41 Aquarii (abbreviated 41 Aqr) is a double star[3] in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 41 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. Its apparent magnitude is 5.354[2] and is located at a distance of around 230 light-years (71 parsecs) from Earth. The brighter component is a red clump[7] giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III and a magnitude of 5.73. At an angular separation of 5.148 arcseconds, the fainter companion is an F-type main sequence star with a magnitude 7.16 and a classification of F8 V.[3]
