G Centauri is a single [10] star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.82. This object is located approximately 450 light years from the Sun, based on parallax. [1] It is a member of the Lower Centaurus–Crux group of the Scorpius–Centaurus association, with the former having an age of about 17 million years. [11]

This object is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3V(n), [3] where the 'n' indicates "nebulous" (broad) lines due to rapid rotation. It is around 16 [4] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of up to 298 km/s. [8] The star has six [4] times the mass of the Sun and 3.4 [5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 483 [2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 13,732 K. [6] An infrared excess indicates a circumstellar disk of dust with a mean temperature of 50 K is orbiting the star at a separation of 717.8  AU. [5]
