Star in the constellation of Lupus
HD 143699 is a single[ 7] star in the southernconstellation ofLupus . It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.90.[ 2] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 9.2 mas ,[ 1] it is located around 350 light years away. It is most likely (90%[ 8] chance) a member of the Upper Centaurus–Lupus[ 9] subgroup of theSco OB2 moving group .
This star has astellar classification of B5/7 III/IV,[ 3] suggesting it is anevolving star that is entering thegiant stage . However, according to Zorec and Royer (2012) it is only 56% of the way through itsmain sequence lifespan.[ 4] It is achemically peculiar magnetic B star,[ 10] showing an averaged quadraticfield strength of (167.2± 140.4)× 10−3 T .[ 11] Helium-weak, it displays an underabundance of helium in itsspectrum .[ 12] Radio emissions have been detected from this source.[ 10]
HD 143699 has 4.3[ 4] times themass of the Sun and 4.4[ 5] times theSun's radius . It has a high rate of spin with aprojected rotational velocity of 123 km/s.[ 4] The star is radiating 438[ 4] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 14,521 K.[ 4]
