14 Sagittae is a binary star[7] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila.[10] 14 Sagittae is the Flamsteed designation. It appears as a sixth magnitude star, near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.89.[2] The system is located 660 light years away, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 4.91 mas.[1] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of –22 km/s.[4]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 61.5 days and an eccentricity of 0.49.[7] The visible component is a chemically peculiar mercury-manganese star[11] with a stellar classification of B9p HgMn.[3] It is narrow-lined with a projected rotational velocity of 7 km/s.[8] The star is radiating 292[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,200 K.[3]
