19 Aquarii is a star in the constellation of Aquarius. With an apparent magnitude of about 5.7,[2] the star is barely visible to the naked eye (see Bortle scale). Parallax estimates made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of about 300 light years (92 parsecs) away from the Earth.[1]

19 Aquarii has a spectral type of A8V,[3] meaning it is an A-type main-sequence star. These types of stars are bluish-white colored, and have effective temperatures between 7100 and 11500 K.[8] It rotates fairly fast, as its projected rotational velocity is about 155 km/s,[6] so it must be rotating at least that fast.
