31 Arietis (abbreviated 31 Ari) is a binary star in the northern constellation of Aries. 31 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. The two members of this system orbit each other with a period of 3.80 years and an eccentricity of 0.017. Both components of the system are F-type main sequence stars with a stellar classification of F7 V.[3] The pair have an apparent visual magnitude of 5.75,[2] which is just bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.79 mas,[1] the distance to this system is approximately 113 light-years (35 parsecs). The system is located near the ecliptic, so it is subject to occultation by the Moon.[7] The dynamical mass of the system is 3.36 ± 0.04 M☉.[3]
