Psi Sagittarii, which is Latinized from ψ Sagittarii, is a triple star[8] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The star system is located at a distance of 298 light years from the Earth based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12 km/s.[4] The system is faintly visible to the naked eye has a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.86.[2]

The inner pair of this triple star system, components Ba and Bb, have an orbital period of 10.78 days and an eccentricity of 0.47.[8] The pair consist of an A-type giant and a less evolved A-type main-sequence star with stellar classifications of A9 III + A3 V,[3] respectively. These in turn share an orbit with the primary, component A, having a period of 20 years and an eccentricity of 0.51.[5] The last is an orange-hued K-type giant with a class of K2 III.[3]

Name and etymology

According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, this star was titled as Al Kiladah.[9] This star, together with τ Sgr, ν Sgr, ω Sgr, 60 Sgr and ζ Sgr were Al Udḥiyy, the Ostrich's Nest.[10]
