Eta Delphini, Latinized from η Delphini, is a candidate astrometric binary[10] star system in the northern constellation of Delphinus. It has an apparent magnitude of about 5.4, meaning that it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon a parallax measurement of 13.81[1] mas made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, this star is around 240 light years away from the Sun. It is advancing in general direction of the Earth with a radial velocity of −25 km/s.[4]

The stellar classification of the visible component is A3 IVs,[3] which matches an A-type subgiant star with narrow absorption lines.[11] It is a suspected chemically peculiar star[12] that is about 64.3%±9.2% of the way through its main sequence lifetime.[8] SIMBAD lists this star as a variable star,[9] although it is not catalogued as such in the GCVS.[13] It has more than double the mass[6] and radius[7] of the Sun, and is radiating 35[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 9,355 K.[6]
