VZ Arietis is single,[10] white-hued star in the northern zodiac constellation of Aries. Varying between magnitudes 5.82 and 5.89,[3] the star can be seen with the naked eye in dark, unpolluted areas. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.8 mas,[1] it is located 560 light years from the Sun. It is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14 km/s.[5] The star was formerly known as 16 Trianguli, but as the star is no longer in the constellation Triangulum, this designation has fallen out of use.[11]

This is a chemically peculiar star[6] of type CP2 (Ap star),[12] showing an anomalous abundance of silicon in its spectrum.[13] It has a stellar classification of A0 V,[4] which indicates this is an A-type main-sequence star that currently fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. This is an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable[12] with 2.7[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 3.1[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 79 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,304 K.[6]
