27 Arietis is a binary star [4] system in the northern constellation of Aries. 27 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It is a dim, yellow-hued star that is close to the lower limit of what can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude is 6.21. [2] The annual parallax shift of 11.64±0.12  mas [1] corresponds to a physical distance of approximately 280 light-years (86 parsecs ) from Earth. It is advancing closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −122.7 km/s, and may come as close as 84 light-years in around 643,000 years. [2]

This appears to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 130.7 days and an eccentricity of 0.366. It has an "a sin i" value of 10.00 ± 0.08  Gm (0.06685 ± 0.00053  AU ), where a is the semimajor axis and i is the inclination to the line of sight from the Earth. This value provides a lower bound on the actual semimajor axis. [4] The visible component has a stellar classification of G8 III-IV Fe-2, [3] displaying mixed spectral traits of an evolved subgiant and a giant star, with a strong underabundance of iron. The CN bands of this star are very weak. [4]
