D Puppis, also known as HD 54475, is a B-type star and a pulsating variable in the constellation of Puppis. [1] [2] It has an apparent magnitude of 5.783, [1] which is enough to be visible to the unaided eye. [a] The distance to D Puppis, based on a parallax of 4.2±0.2 mas from the Hipparcos satellite, is 776 light-years. [3] [b]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a spectral type of B3V. [1] It has 6.2 times the mass of the Sun [5] and 3.54 times the Sun's radius. [6] It radiates 690 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at a temperature of 15,723 K. [7] Its age is estimated to be of about 15 million years. [5]
The distance to D Puppis is about 776 light-years, based on a parallax of 4.2±0.2 mas from the Hipparcos satellite. [3]
It is mentioned to be a pulsating variable star on SIMBAD, [1] but the American Association of Variable Star Observers does not mention any variable-star type for the star. [4]
