Chi1 Sagittarii (χ1 Sagittarii) is a binary star[9] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.03,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon a parallax of 13.25 mas,[3] it is located around 246 light years away. It is advancing through space in the general direction of the Earth with a radial velocity of −43.4 km/s.[6]

This is a visual binary with an orbital period of 5.6985 years, an eccentricity of 0.710, and an angular semimajor axis of 66.4 mas. The magnitude 5.46 primary, Chi1 Sagittarii A, has a mass 2.09 times that of the Sun, while the secondary, Chi1 Sagittarii B, has a mass 1.78 times solar and a magnitude of 5.96. Spectral types of A2IV and A5IV have been published for the primary and secondary component.[3] A spectrum of A3/5 IV/V has been published,[5] but Helmut Abt published spectral type of kA5hF0VmF0, typical of Am stars.[10] This notation indicates it has the calcium K-lines of an A5 star, and the hydrogen and metal lines of an F0 star.
