star in theconstellation Aries, it is the Ram's second horn. It also has the traditional name Sharatan (or Sheratan or Sheratim), and theFlamsteed designation 6 Arietis."Al Sharatan" means "the two signs", a reference to the star having marked the vernal equinox together with its binary partner
Gamma Arietis several thousand years ago.It has an observed visual magnitude of +2.66. Its MK spectral type is A5V (white
main sequence star). It is 59.6light year s from Earth.This star is a
spectroscopic binary . The companion orbits every 107 days with an unusually large eccentricity of 0.88. Based on the estimated mass of the companion, it is likely a G-class star.References
