Binary star in the constellation Vela
Psi Velorum , Latinized from ψ Velorum, is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Vela . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 53.15 mas as seen from Earth , it is located 61.4 light years from the Sun . It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +3.58.[ 2] Castor stellar kinematic group .[ 11]
The two components of this system orbit their common barycenter with a period of 33.95 years and an eccentricity of 0.433. The semimajor axis of their orbit has an angular size of 0.862 arc seconds .[ 8] apparent magnitudes of +3.91 and +5.12[ 3] spectral types F0 IV and F3 IV, suggesting they are F-type subgiants .[ 5] main sequence stars rather than subgiants,[ 4] [ 9] [ 12]
