FN Canis Majoris is a binary star[4] system in the southern constellation Canis Major, near the northern constellation border with Monoceros. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.41.[3] The system is located at a distance of approximately 3,000 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +31 km/s.[3] It is a runaway star associated with the Sh 2-296 nebula in the CMa OB1 association, and has a conspicuous bow-shock feature.[6]

The brighter component is a visual magnitude 5.69[4] B-type star that has been assigned various stellar classification from B0 III/IV[5] to B2 Ia/ab,[6] suggesting it is an evolved state. In the past it was classified as a Beta Cephei type variable star[11] with an apparent magnitude that was measured varing between +5.38 and +5.42 over a period of 36.7 hours,[12] but is no longer considered to be one.[13] This is a massive star with estimates ranging from 19[7] to 36[9] times the mass of the Sun, and luminosity estimates of 122,079[7] to 690,000[9] times the Sun's luminosity. The magnitude 7.04[4] companion is located at an angular separation of 0.60 from the primary at a position angle of 111°, as of 2003.[14]
