Star in the constellation Lupus
Upsilon Lupi ,Latinized from υ Lupi, is astar system in the southernconstellation ofLupus . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.37.[ 2] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 8.02[ 1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 410 light years from theSun . The two components of Upsilon Lupi share acommon proper motion through space and most likely form a widebinary star system.[ 10] As of 1945, the pair had anangular separation of 1.50 arc seconds along aposition angle of 40°.[ 3]
The brighter member, component A, is achemically peculiar Ap star with astellar classification of A0p Si,[ 4] where the 'Si' suffix indicates an abnormal abundance of silicon in the star'sphotosphere . Amagnetic field has been detected with aquadratic field strength of (764.7± 311.3)× 10−4 T .[ 11] The star is radiating 113 times thesolar luminosity from itsouter atmosphere at aneffective temperature of 10,049 K.[ 7]
The magnitude 10.9 companion star, component B, has a visual magnitude of 10.90.[ 3] It may be the source of theX-ray emission detected coming from these coordinates.[ 12]
