Omicron Aquilae (ο Aql, ο Aquilae) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila.The brighter component has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.11, [2] which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye in dark suburban skies.
A blue band light curve for IRC +10420, adapted from Gottlieb & Liller (1978) [11]. IRC +10420 was first identified in the 1969 Infrared Catalogue of 2.2 micron sources. [12] It was quickly noted as a very unusual object after being detected at 20 microns as one of the brightest sources in the sky with a large infrared excess, and was compared to Eta Carinae during one of its outbursts.

R Aquilae is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It is located approximately 760 light years distant from the Sun [6] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 35 km/s. [5] This is a thermally-pulsating Mira variable that ranges in brightness from magnitude 5.3 down to 12.0 with a period of 269.84 days.

23 Aquilae is a binary star [8] system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 23 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation.It is at a distance of about 400 light-years (120 parsecs) with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.10, [2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star.
K2-32 is a G9-type main sequence star slightly smaller and less massive than the sun. [4] Four confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star. [9] A study of atmospheric escape from the planet K2-32b caused by high-energy stellar irradiation indicates that the star has always been a very slow rotator.
GJ 1214 is about one-fifth the radius of the Sun [16] with a surface temperature estimated to be 3,110 K (2,840 °C; 5,140 °F). [9] Its luminosity is only 0.35% that of the Sun. [9]
