22 Orionis is a binary star [15] in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It has the Bayer designation o Orionis, while 22 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74. [2] It is located approximately 1,100 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. [1] The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +28.80 [5]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 293 days and an eccentricity of 0.15. [7] The visible member, component A, has a stellar classification of B2 IV-V, [3] [4] matching a B-type star with a luminosity class that displays mixed traits of a main sequence star and a subgiant. It is a suspected Beta Cephei variable [17] or a slowly pulsating B star. [18] The star has about nine times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 7,244 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 22,646 K . [8]
