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.
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]
Omega 1 Aquilae, which is Latinized from ω 1 Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a single [8] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.2 [ 2 ] it is a faint, yellow-white hued star that can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies.
Chi Aquilae (χ Aql, χ Aquilae) is the Bayer designation for a binary star [3] in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, the eagle. This system is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye at a combined visual magnitude of +5.29. [ 2 ]
