HD 91324 is a likely binary[4]star system in the southernconstellation ofVela. It is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.89.[2] The distance to HD 91324, as determined from its annualparallax shift of45.6 mas,[1] is 71.5 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of +21 km/s.[1]
The primary, component A, is ametal-deficient[7]F-type main-sequence star with astellar classification ofF9V Fe-0.8 CH-0.7,[3] where the suffix notation indicates underabundances of iron andmethine in itsspectrum. It is around 3.5[5] billion years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 9 km/s. The star has 1.18 times themass of the Sun and 1.86 times theSun's radius.[4] It is radiating 4.55[2] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 6,127 K.[4]
A faint star designated 2MASS J10313234–5338010[8] was found to be a possible companion to HD 91324 through aproper motion study combining data from theTwo Micron All-Sky Survey and theWISE space telescope. Theprojected separation of the two components is309″, or6,700 AU.Proper motion measurements for the two stars are almost identical making HD 91324 a likelybinary star system. Thephotometry of 2MASS J10313234–5338010 is consistent with it being ared dwarf ofspectral type M5 or M6.[9]
