[9] It is a dim star that is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.68.

[2] The distance to 14 Vul, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 18.7753±0.1714,[1] is around 174 light years.

It is moving nearer with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −38 km/s,[4] and will make its closest approach in a million years when comes to within about 62 ly (19.04 pc).

[2] This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F1 Vn,[3] where the 'n' notation indicates nebulous lines due to rapid rotation.

At the estimated age of 1.7[5] billion years old, it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 150[6] km/s and has sub-solar metallicity.
