Rho Aquilae, ρ Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Delphinus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.94 [ 2 ] and is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye in good conditions.
Bayer assigned a lowercase Greek letter (alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), etc.) or a Latin letter (A, b, c, etc.) to each star he catalogued, combined with the Latin name of the star's parent constellation in genitive (possessive) form. The constellation name is frequently abbreviated to a standard three-letter form.
Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for 'eagle' and it represents the bird that carried Zeus/Jupiter's thunderbolts in Greek-Roman mythology. Its brightest star, Altair, is one vertex of the Summer Triangle asterism. The constellation is best seen in the northern summer, as it is located along the Milky Way.

R Aquilae is an aging red giant on the asymptotic giant branch [3] with a stellar classification that varies over time, between M5e and M9e, [2] where the 'e' suffix indicates emission features in the spectrum. The cooler spectral types occur near the minimum visual magnitude, and the hottest near maximum. [11]
