Delta Columbae is a binary star system in the constellation Columba. It can be seen with the naked eye having an apparent visual magnitude of 3.85.[3] The distance to this system, based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.94 mas,[2] is around 234 lightyears.
Delta Columbae was a latter designation of 3 Canis Majoris, as the early astronomers Johann Bayer and John Flamsteed did not include the constellation Columba in their star charts.[11]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 868.78 days and an eccentricity of 0.7.[6] It has a peculiar velocity of 30.2±3.9 km/s, making it a candidate runaway star system. The primary component is a G-type bright giant star with a stellar classification of G7 II.[4] It radiates around 149[8] time the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,136 K.[5]
