15 Sagittae (short 15 Sge ) is a main sequence star of the spectral class G0 in the constellation Arrow, about 58 light years away from Earth . With an apparent magnitude of 5.8 mag, it can only be seen with the naked eye under optimal conditions. The star is accompanied by an L-dwarf named 15 Sagittae B.

Cool companion

15 Sagittae B , also Gliese 779 B and HR 7672 B , is a presumably substellar L-dwarf. Its spectral class is estimated to be L6 ± 1.5 and a mass of about 60 to 70 Jupiter masses is derived from models. Under certain assumptions, the effective temperature is at 1510-1850 K appreciated. The angular distance to the central star is 0.79 ", which when projected corresponds to a distance of about 14  astronomical units . The object was discovered in 2002 by Liu et al. At the Mauna Kea Observatory .
