Chi Aquarii, Latinized from χ Aquarii, is the Bayer designation of a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The distance to this star, based upon parallax measurements with a 7% margin of error, is roughly Template:Convert. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5.
The variability of the brightness of Chi Aquarii was announced by Joel Stebbins and Charles Morse Huffer in 1928, based on observations made at Washburn Observatory.[2] This is a red giant star with a spectral classification of M3 III.[3] The interferometry-measured angular diameter of this star is Template:Nowrap,[4] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 137 times the radius of the Sun.Template:Efn It is classified as a semi-regular variable star and its brightness varies by an amplitude of 0.0636 in magnitude.[5] The identified pulsation periods are 32.3, 38.5, and 44.9 days.[6] Template:Clear left
