71 Aquilae (abbreviated 71 Aql) is a binary star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 71 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation though it also bears the Bayer designation l Aquilae. The apparent visual magnitude of the system is 4.33,[2] making it bright enough to be viewed by the naked eye. It has an annual parallax shift of 9.67 mas,[1] which equates to a physical distance of 340 light-years (100 parsecs) from Earth, give or take a 30 light-year margin of error. At this distance, the brightness of the system is diminished by 0.065 in visual magnitude from extinction caused by interstellar gas and dust.[5]
This is a spectroscopic binary system where the presence of an orbiting companion is revealed by shifts in the spectrum caused by the Doppler effect. The primary component is a giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III.[3] The secondary is following a circular orbit with a period of 205.2 days.[6]
