astro.wikisort.org - StarUX Arietis is a triple star system located in the northern zodiacal constellation of Aries. Based upon parallax measurements from the Hipparcos satellite, it is roughly 168 light years away.[2] The primary, component Aa, is a variable star of the RS CVn type. The variability of the star is believed due to a combination of cool star spots and warm flares, set against the baseline quiescent temperature of the stellar atmosphere. The variability appears to be cyclical with a period of 8−9 years.[5] The star varies in brightness from magnitude 6.35 to 6.71, meaning it may be intermittently visible to the unaided eye under ideal dark-sky conditions.[8]
