HD 179791 is suspected variable star[5] in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It is a challenge to see with the naked eye even under good viewing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.48.[2] The distance to HD 179791 can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 5.3 mas,[1] which yields a value of 616 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +16 km/s.[6] Astrometric measurements of the star show changes in motion that may indicate it is a member of a close binary system.[10]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V.[4] It is a suspected chemically peculiar star and formerly a candidate Lambda Boötis star.[11] The status as a Lambda Boötis star was reviewed and changed to non-member in 2015.[12] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 196 km/s.[3] The star has 2.55[3] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.5[8] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 66[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,912 K.[3]
