10 Arietis is a binary star[6] system in the northern constellation of Aries. 10 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.63.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located around 159 light years away from the Sun. The system is receding from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +12.9 km/s.[3]
The pair orbit each other with a period of approximately 325 years and an eccentricity of 0.59. The semimajor axis of the orbit has an angular size of 1.39″.[4] The magnitude 5.92[6] primary, designated component A, is an aging F-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of F8 IV.[2] The secondary star, component B, is a magnitude 7.95[6] F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F9 V.[2] There is a magnitude 13.5 visual companion, designated component C, at an angular separation of 95.30″ along a position angle of 150°, as of 2001.[7]
