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 General Catalogue of Variable Stars does not mention any variable-star type for the star.[4]
Notes edit
- ^ According to the Bortle scale
- ^ The distance in parsecs is equivalent to .
