24 Canum Venaticorum is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici, located 277 light years away from the Sun.[1] This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.68.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −18 km/s.[4]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A4 V,[10] and it is a shell star with rotationally-broadened lines.[11] It is 310[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 159 km/s.[3] This rate of spin is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 7% larger than the polar radius.[12] The star has 1.74[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.9[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 41[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,285 K.[6]

24 Canum Venaticorum displays a significant infrared excess at wavelengths of 24μm and 70μm, indicating an orbiting circumstellar debris disk.[11] The signature matches a black body temperature of 464 K for an estimated orbital radius of 1.4 astronomical unit|AU.[7]
