HD 29573 is a binary star [3] system in the constellation Eridanus. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.99, [2] making it visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.23 mas, [1] it is located 229 light years from the Sun. The system is moving further away from Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +3 km/s. [5]
The binary nature of this system was discovered through observations made with the Hipparcos spacecraft. The pair orbit each other with a period of 41 years and an eccentricity of 0.8. [2] The magnitude 5.19 [3] primary component has a class of A1, [2] 2.28 [2] times the mass of the Sun, and is a suspected chemically peculiar star. [8] The secondary has magnitude 7.22, [3] 1.56 [2] times the Sun's mass, and a class of F2. [2] The system has a possible infrared excess [9] due to circumstellar dust. [10]
