Characteristics

[edit]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a spectral type of B3V.[1] It has 6.2 times the mass of the Sun[5] and 3.54 times the Sun's radius.[6] It radiates 690 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at a temperature of 15,723 K.[7] Its age is estimated to be of about 15 million years.[5]

The distance to D Puppis is about 776 light-years, based on a parallax of 4.2±0.2 mas from the Hipparcos satellite.[3]

It is mentioned to be a pulsating variable star on SIMBAD,[1] but the American Association of Variable Star Observers does not mention any variable-star type for the star.[4]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ According to the Bortle scale
  2. ^ The distance in parsecs is equivalent to .
  3. ^ Calculated using an angular diameter of 0.1422608 mas and an adopted distance of 231.7 parsecs (756 ly).
  1. ^ Obtained with a right ascension of 07h 07m 0.77s and a declination of −40° 53′ 35.77″[1] on this website.
