23 Orionis

Summary

23 Orionis is a double star located around 1,200 light-years (370 parsecs)[1] away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Orion.[12] It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, blue-white-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.99.[2] The pair are moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +18 km/s,[5] and they are members of the Orion OB1 association, subgroup 1a.[13]

Howe and Clarke (2009) catalog this as a double-lined spectroscopic binary star system[14] with a wide projected separation of 9,460 AU.[9] As of 2018, they had an angular separation of 31.9 along a position angle of 30°.[3] The brighter member, component A, is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B1V. The secondary, component B, is of class B3V.[4] Both stars are spinning rapidly.[4]
