Xi2 Sagittarii, Latinized from ξ2 Sagittarii, is a star in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. Data collected during the Hipparcos mission suggests it is an astrometric binary, although nothing is known about the companion.[8][9] It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +3.51.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.4 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this system is located around 390 light years from the Sun.
The spectrum of Xi2 Sagittarii yields a mixed stellar classification of G8/K0 II/III,[3] showing traits of a G- or K-type giant or bright giant star. It has an estimated 3.6. times the mass of the Sun and about 27 times the Sun's radius. [6] At an age of around 380 million years, it is radiating 676 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,541 K.[4]
