HD 29573 is a binary star[3] system in the constellation Eridanus. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.99,[2] making it visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.23 mas,[1] it is located 229 light years from the Sun. The system is moving further away from Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +3 km/s.[5]

The binary nature of this system was discovered through observations made with the Hipparcos spacecraft. The pair orbit each other with a period of 41 years and an eccentricity of 0.8.[2] The magnitude 5.19[3] primary component has a class of A1,[2] 2.28[2] times the mass of the Sun, and is a suspected chemically peculiar star.[8] The secondary has magnitude 7.22,[3] 1.56[2] times the Sun's mass, and a class of F2.[2] The system has a possible infrared excess[9] due to circumstellar dust.[10]
