Xi1 Lupi (ξ1 Lup, ξ1 Lupi) is a probable binary star [8] in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.1, [2] and forms a visual double star with Xi2 Lupi. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.60 [1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 140 light-years from the Sun. It is a member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group of the nearby Sco OB2 association. [9]
This star shows periodic radial velocity variations that can be best explained as a spectroscopic binary system. [8] The visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V. [3] It has twice [5] the mass of the Sun and shines with about 12 [6] times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,206 K. [5] The star is an estimated 237 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 78 km/s. [5]
