This is a magnetic chemically peculiar star, or Ap star, with a stellar classification of F0VpSrCrEu,[5] matching an F-type main-sequence star with abundance anomalies of strontium, chromium, and europium in the spectrum. It is a variable star of type Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum that ranges in visual magnitude from 5.61 down to 5.67[4] with a period of 223.826 days. This is most likely the mean rotational period of the star.[1] V1291 Aquilae was one of the first Ap stars discovered with a period of more than 100 days.[11] It shows a surface magnetic field strength of 3.6 kG.[7]
