24 Canum Venaticorum is a single [9] star in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici, located 277 light years away from the Sun. [1] This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.68. [2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −18 km/s. [4]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A4 V, [10] and it is a shell star with rotationally-broadened lines. [11] It is 310 [6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 159 km/s. [3] This rate of spin is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 7% larger than the polar radius. [12] The star has 1.74 [6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.9 [7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 41 [3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,285 K. [6]
24 Canum Venaticorum displays a significant infrared excess at wavelengths of 24μm and 70μm, indicating an orbiting circumstellar debris disk. [11] The signature matches a black body temperature of 464 K for an estimated orbital radius of 1.4 AU. [7]
