Epsilon Scuti, Latinized from ε Scuti, is a probable astrometric binary [9] star system in the constellation Scutum. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.88.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.71 mas as seen from Earth,> it is located approximately 570 light years from the Sun. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −9.8 km/s.[6] Epsilon Scuti was a latter designation of 3 Aquilae.[10]

The visible component is a yellow-hued bright giant with a G-type bright giant[3] It is radiating 403[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,500 K.[7] Epsilon Scuti has at least three faint visual companions, two 14th magnitude stars, B and D, separated from the primary by 13.6 and 15.4 arcseconds respectively, and the 13th magnitude C, which is 38 arcseconds away.[11]
