HD 69863 is a binary star[11] system in the southern constellation of Carina. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.16.[6] The system is located at a distance of about255 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1][3] The dual nature of this system was announced in 1832 by German astronomer Carl Rümker.[12] As of 2015, the pair had an angular separation of 4.10 along a position angle of 70°.[2]

The brighter primary, designated component A, has a visual magnitude of 5.27[2] and is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2V.[4] It is 635[7] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 191 km/s.[9] The star has 2.1 times the mass of the Sun.[7]

The magnitude 7.62[2] companion, component B, is a F-type main-sequence star with a class of F2V.[5] It is radiating four[3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,806 K.[3] The system is a source for X-ray emission, which is most likely coming from the secondary.[13]
