Omicron Lupi (ο Lup) is a binary star[3] in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is a visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.323.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.07 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 400 light-years from the Sun, give or take 30 light-years. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the system is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.13±0.01 due to interstellar dust.[5] It is a member of the Upper Centaurus–Lupus[8] subgroup of the nearby Scorpius–Centaurus association.[6]
This is a visual binary star system with the components having an angular separation of 0.1 arcsecond.[8] The primary, component A, is a magnitude 4.84 B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B5 V.[3] It displays radial velocity variations indicating it has an unseen second companion orbiting at a separation of at least 17 AU with a period of 27 years or more.[6] The spectrum of the primary displays a Zeeman effect indicating a magnetic field with a strength ranging from −94 to 677 G.[6] The visible companion, component B, has a visual magnitude of 5.27.[3]
