Omega1 Aquilae is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ω1 Aquilae, and abbreviated Omega1 Aql or ω1 Aql. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.2 it is a faint, yellow-white hued star that can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies. From the annual parallax shift of 8.27 mas, the distance to this star can be estimated as 395 light-years (121 parsecs), give or take a 3 light year margin of error. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −14 km/s.

The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of F0 IV. Typically, a luminosity class of IV means that the star is in the subgiant stage. It is rotating rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 89 km/s. The star has 2.85 times the mass of the Sun and five times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 85 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,766 K.
