Nu Aquarii (ν Aqr, ν Aquarii) is the Bayer designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius.

With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.52,[2] Nu Aquarii is visible to the naked eye. Its distance from Earth, as determined from parallax measurements, is around 159 light-years (49 parsecs). At an estimated age of 708 million years,[5] it has evolved into a giant star with a spectrum that matches a stellar classification of G8 III.[3] It has than double the mass of the Sun[5] and has expanded to eight[4] times the Sun's radius. Nu Aquarii is radiating 37-fold[4] the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,920 K.[4] At this heat, the star is glowing with the yellowish hue of a G-type star.[7]

Together with μ Aquarii, it is Albulaan /ˌælbjəˈlɑːn/, a name derived from the Arabic term al-bulaʽān (ألبولعان), meaning "the two swallowers". This star, along with ε Aqr (Albali) and μ Aqr (Albulaan), were al Bulaʽ (البلع)—the Swallower.[8][9]

In Chinese, 天壘城 (Tiān Lěi Chéng), meaning Celestial Ramparts, refers to an asterism consisting of ν Aquarii, ξ Aquarii, 46 Capricorni, 47 Capricorni, λ Capricorni, 50 Capricorni, 18 Aquarii, 29 Capricorni, 9 Aquarii, 8 Aquarii, 14 Aquarii, 17 Aquarii and 19 Aquarii.[10] Consequently, the Chinese name for ν Aquarii itself is 天壘城十 (Tiān Lěi Chéng shí, English: the Tenth Star of Celestial Ramparts).[11]
