Omega1 Aquilae is a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ω1 Aquilae, and abbreviated Omega1 Aql or ω1 Aql. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.2[3] it is a faint, yellow-white hued star that can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies. From the annual parallax shift of 8.27 mas,[2] the distance to this star can be estimated as 395 light-years (121 parsecs), give or take a 3 light year margin of error. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −14 km/s.[6]

The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of F0 IV.[5] Typically, a luminosity class of IV means that the star is in the subgiant stage. It is rotating rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 89 km/s.[4] The star has 2.85 times the mass of the Sun[4] and five times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 85 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,766 K.[2]
