83 Aquarii (abbreviated 83 Aqr ) is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius . The combined apparent visual magnitude of the pair is 5.43, [2] which is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 15.57  milliarcseconds , [1] it is located at a distance of around 209 light-years (64 parsecs ) from Earth.

Both stars are F-type main sequence stars . [3] The first component has an apparent magnitude of 6.20; the second is magnitude 6.34. [3] They are orbiting each other with a period of 21.84 years with an eccentricity of 0.388. [5]
