83 Aquarii (abbreviated 83 Aqr) is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 83 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation though it also bears the Bayer designation of h Aquarii. 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]
