Zeta Piscium (ζ Piscium) is a quintuple[2] star system in the zodiac constellation of Pisces. The primary, component A, forms a pair of A-type subgiant stars, Aa and Ab, with an angular separation of 0.15 arc seconds and visual magnitude 5.28.[2] The companion, component B, is a spectroscopic binary star system with a period of 9.075 days and an eccentricity of 0.04. Together, components Ba and Bb have a combined visual magnitude of 6.43 and lie at an angular separation of 22.9 arc seconds from the primary. They are F-type main-sequence and G-type main-sequence stars, respectively. The fifth component is a magnitude 12.2 star at an angular separation 1.0 arc seconds from component B.[2]

Because it is positioned near the ecliptic, it is subject to lunar eclipses.[7]

Naming

This star got the name Revati by approval of IAU on 30th of June, 2017.[8][9]

In Chinese, 外屏 (Wài Píng), meaning Outer Fence, refers to an asterism consisting of refers to an asterism consisting of ζ Piscium, δ Piscium, ε Piscium, μ Piscium, ν Piscium, ξ Piscium and α Piscium. Consequently, ζ Piscium itself is known as 外屏三 (Wài Píng sān, Template:Lang-en.)[10]
