16 Vulpeculae is a binary star system in the northern constellation Vulpecula.[1] It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.787,[2] which is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.71±0.50[1] as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located about 222 light years away. The system is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −37 km/s.[6] It will make its closest approach in about 0.9 million years, coming within 155 light-years (47.42 pc).[10]

The pair orbit each other with an estimated period of 1,201 years and an orbital eccentricity of 0.932.[8] The magnitude 5.93 primary, component A, displays a stellar classification of F2III,[12] matching an aging F-type giant star. This star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 136 km/s.[7] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 21% larger than the polar radius.[13] It is 742[9] million years old with 1.34[9] times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 31[10] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 6,888 K.[9]
