HD 91324 is a likely binary[4] star system in the southern constellation of Vela. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.89.[2] The distance to HD 91324, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 45.6 mas,[1] is 71.5 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +21 km/s.[1]

The primary, component A, is a metal-deficient[7] F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F9V Fe-0.8 CH-0.7,[3] where the suffix notation indicates underabundances of iron and methine in its spectrum. It is around 3.5[5] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 9 km/s. The star has 1.18 times the mass of the Sun and 1.86 times the Sun's radius.[4] It is radiating 4.55[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,127 K.[4]

A faint star designated 2MASS J10313234–5338010[8] was found to be a possible companion to HD 91324 through a proper motion study combining data from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey and the WISE space telescope. The projected separation of the two components is 309, or 6,700 astronomical unit|AU. Proper motion measurements for the two stars are almost identical making HD 91324 a likely binary star system. The photometry of 2MASS J10313234–5338010 is consistent with it being a red dwarf of spectral type M5 or M6.[9]
