Probable binary star system in the constellation Lupus
Xi1 Lupi (ξ1 Lup, ξ1 Lupi) is a probable binary star [ 8] in the southern constellation of Lupus . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.1,[ 2] and forms a visual double star with Xi2 Lupi . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.60[ 1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 140 light-years from the Sun . It is a member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group of the nearby Sco OB2 association.[ 9]
This star shows periodic radial velocity variations that can be best explained as a spectroscopic binary system.[ 8] The visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V.[ 3] It has twice[ 5] the mass of the Sun and shines with about 12[ 6] times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,206 K .[ 5] The star is an estimated 237 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 78 km/s.[ 5]
