Omega2 Aquarii, Latinised from ω2 Aquarii, is the Bayer designation for a triple star[9] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It can be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.49.[2] The approximate distance to this star, 149 light-years (46 parsecs), is known from parallax measurements taken during the Hipparcos mission.[1]

The primary component of this system is a massive, B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V.[3] This star has nearly double the radius of the Sun[6] and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 148 km/s.[7] The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 10,504 K,[6] giving it the blue-white hue of a B-type star.[10]

There is a close orbiting stellar companion of unknown type, with a third component at an angular separation of 5.7 arcseconds. The latter is a K-type main-sequence star with a visual magnitude of 9.5.[9] This system is among the 100 strongest stellar X-ray sources within 163 light-years (50 parsecs) of the Sun. It is emitting an X-ray luminosity of 1.2 × 1030 erg s−1.[11]
