}}{{Starbox end}}106 Aquarii, abbreviated 106 Aqr, is a single[20] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 106 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation, and it also bears the Bayer designation i1 Aquarii. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.2,[4] making it bright enough to be viewed from the suburbs according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale. An annual parallax shift of 8.61[9] milliarcseconds yields an estimated distance of around {{Convert|380|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}} from Earth.
The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of B9 V,[5] indicating this is a B-type main sequence star. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 328 km/s.[13] The star has 3[13] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 152[12] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,555 K.[13] X-ray emission with a luminosity of {{Val|6.0e29|u=erg s−1}} has been detected from this star. This is unusual since a B-type star normally does not have any significant X-ray emission. Instead, it may have an undetected lower mass companion.[28]
