V539 Arae (Bayer designation Nu1 Arae (ν1 Arae / ν1 Ara)) is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Ara. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.30 ± 0.47,[1] this system is at a distance of roughly 1,000 light-years (310 parsecs) from Earth.
The core members of this system, ν1 Ara AB, consist of a pair of B-type main-sequence stars in a close orbit with a period of 3.169 days and an eccentricity of 0.06. Their respective stellar classifications are B2 V and B3 V, and they have a combined visual magnitude of 5.65. Because the orbital plane lies close to the line of sight from the Earth, this pair form a detached eclipsing binary of the Algol type.[6] The eclipse of the primary causes a decrease of 0.52 in magnitude, while the secondary eclipse decreases the magnitude by 0.43.[8] At an angular separation of 12.34 arcseconds, is the tertiary component of this system; a magnitude 9.40 A-type main-sequence star with a classification of A1 V.[2]
The system is sometimes referred as Upsilon1 Arae (υ1 Arae), and more generally unlettered.[9]
