Lambda Lupi, Latinized from λ Lupi, is a triple star [11] system in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.04. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of just 4.20 [1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 800 light years from the Sun. The system has a peculiar velocity of 27.4±4.9 km/s relative to its neighbors, making it a candidate runaway star system. [9] It is a member of the Upper Centaurus–Lupus sub-group in the Scorpius–Centaurus OB association. [12]
The two visible components of this system orbit each other over a period of 70.8 years with a large eccentricity of 0.63. [8] The primary component has a visual magnitude of 4.43, while the secondary is of magnitude 5.23. [3] Both are B-type main sequence stars with a stellar classification of B3 V. [5] One of the pair is itself a double-lined spectroscopic binary, making this a triple star system. [11]
