X Sagittarii is a variable star and candidate binary star system in the southern constellation of Sagittarius, near the western constellation boundary with Ophiuchus. It has a yellow-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.54.[2] The star is located at a distance of approximately 950light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10km/s.[5] The star has an absolute magnitude of around −2.85.[6]

Variable star and possible binary star system in the constellation Sagittarius
This is an F-type bright giant with a stellar classification of F7II.[3] It is a Classical Cepheid variable that ranges in apparent magnitude from 4.20 down to 4.90 with a period of 7.01283 days.[13] Its variation in brightness is accompanied by a change in spectral classification, from G2 to F5.[4] The amplitude of each pulsation causes the stellar radius to vary by ~9%.[14] Analysis of the spectra suggest there are two shock waves per pulsation period, with complicated patterns appearing in the metallic lines.[15] The star is surrounded by an optically-thin circumstellar envelope at 15–20 stellar radii, which appears as an infrared excess of 13.3%.[16] This may be composed of amorphous carbon.[14]
László Szabados suggested in 1990 that this might be a binary system with a period of 507days. A detection of this projected companion was reported in 2013 using the VLTI/AMBER instrument. However, the object was at the detection limit of the instrument, showing an angular separation of 10.7mas from the primary and a magnitude difference of 5.6 in the K-band.[8] A subsequent optical search reported a failure to detect the companion in 2014, excluding companions brighter than a A-type main-sequence star class of A9V.[17] The estimated mass of this object is 0.2–0.3M☉.[15]
