Iota Arietis, Latinized from ι Arietis, is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the northern constellation of Aries. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.117;[2] bright enough to be dimly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission yield an estimated distance of 520 light-years (160 parsecs) from Earth.[1] The variable radial velocity of this system was announced by W. W. Campbell in 1922. K. C. Gordon published orbital elements for this single-lined spectroscopic binary system in 1946, giving an orbital period of 4.29 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.36.[7]

For the visible component, in 1952 N. G. Roman found a stellar classification of K1p, where the 'p' indicates some type of peculiarity with the spectrum. Her comments indicated that the "Hydrogen lines and λ 4290 are strong enough to indicate a class II star, but the CN is barely strong enough for class III, and the Sr II is not much stronger than this would require.".[3] E. A. Harlan published a class of K peculiar in 1969, commenting, "Hδ strong, Fe I λ4045 is weak for type".[11] In 1990, K. Sato and S. Kuji gave a class of G8III, suggesting this is an aging G-type giant star and questioning its peculiar status.[4] Bayesian inference of the stellar properties indicates this star is on the horizontal branch.[8] The companion is a suspected white dwarf.[12]
