145 G. Canis Majoris (HD 56577) is a single [10] K giant or supergiant star in the southern constellation of Canis Major. This star is Gould's 145th of Canis Major in his Uranometria Argentina. [11] Kostjuk erroneously lists it as simply "145 CMa". SIMBAD follows this error in its object query result as "* 145 CMa – Star". [12]
The properties and evolutionary state of 145 G. CMa are disputed, it being classed either as a young massive supergiant or a somewhat older and less massive giant. It has been given two MK spectral classifications: K3Ib [3] (corresponding to a supergiant) and K4III [4] (corresponding to a giant). Tezzlaff et al. gives a large mass of 7.8 M☉ and a young age of 35 million years, [6] while Earle Luck gives a smaller mass of 1.9 M☉ and a higher age of 1.05 billion years. [2] The effective temperature of the star is of 3,980 K, [7] which gives it a orange hue typical of K-type stars. [13]
Based on the assumption that it is a supergiant, 145 CMa has been given a large radius of 315 R☉ and a luminosity of 23,660 L☉. [7] Assuming it is a giant, Earle Luck give a much lower luminosity of 5,250 L☉ with a corresponding radius of 156 R☉. [a] [2] By the distance implied by its Gaia DR2 parallax, it would have a luminosity of 14,000 L☉, rather high for a giant. [5] An older measurement based on the Hipparcos distance of 435 parsecs (1,420 ly) give a lower luminosity of 5,960 L☉. [14]
The star is one component of a close double, the other being HD 56578 which on its own would be a faint naked-eye star. The two are separated by 27 ″. [15] The two stars appear to be unrelated and the close alignment accidental, with HD 56578 being a much closer and less luminous Am star. [16]
