V1401 Aquilae is semi-regular pulsating star in the constellation Aquila. Its evolutionary status is unclear, and it has been classified as a post-AGB object, a UU Herculis variable or belonging to the W Virginis variable subclass of the type II Cepheids. It has a low metallicity.[2] V1401 Aquilae was a latter designation of 64 Sagittarii.[3]
