For other star systems with this Bayer designation, see ω Aquilae.

Omega2 Aquilae, Latinized from ω2 Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, the eagle.[10] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.0,[2] which is close to the lower limit of detectability with the naked eye. According to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, this star can be viewed from dark rural skies. As the Earth orbits about the Sun, this star undergoes a parallax shift of 11.7 mas.[1] This is equivalent to a physical distance of 279 light-years (86 parsecs) from Earth, give or take a 2 light year margin of error. The star is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −26 km/s.[2]

Analysis of the spectrum of this white-hued star shows it to match a stellar classification of A2 V,[3] indicating it is an A-type main sequence star. It has about double the size and mass of the Sun.[7] The star is radiating 22[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,936 K,[8] giving it the white hue of an A-type star.[11] Omega2 Aquilae is 224[6] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 154 km/s.[9]
