42 Aquarii is a single[8] star located 447 light years away from the Sun in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 42 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.34.[2] This object is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of around +13 km/s.[2]

This object is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III,[3] most likely (82% chance) on the horizontal branch.[5] It is around 470[5] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 3.4 km/s.[6] The star has over three[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 70[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,980 K.[1]
