15 Arietis (abbreviated 15 Ari) is a single[8] variable star in the northern constellation of Aries. 15 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation; it also bears the variable star designation AV Arietis. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.74,[8] which is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye from dark suburban skies. An annual parallax shift of 5.84 mas[2] corresponds to a physical distance of approximately 560 light-years (170 parsecs) from Earth. At that distance, the star's brightness is reduced by 0.33[5] in magnitude because of extinction from interstellar gas and dust.
This is a red giant star with a stellar classification of M3 III.[1] The measured angular diameter of this star is 3.67 ± 0.11 mas.[9] At the estimated distance of Delta Ophiuchi,[2] this yields a physical size of about 67 times the radius of the Sun.[10] The radius determined from the observed brightness and colour of the star is 87 R☉.[6]
15 Arietis is a short period semiregular variable with the designation AV Arietis. The period given in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars is 5.032 days.[3] Longterm photometry finds that the strongest pulsation period is 18.1 days with an amplitude of 0.028 magnitudes, while a second is 21.9 days and 0.030 in magnitude.[1]
