HD 110073 is a star in the southern constellation Centaurus, near the southern constellation border with Crux. It has the Bayer designation l Centauri (lower case L), while HD 110073 is the star's identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue . This system is faintlyvisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.63. [2] It is located at a distance of approximately 365 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +15 km/s. [2]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system that belongs to the Pleiades stream. [4] As of 2011, the pair had a linear projected separation of 130.8±12.1 AU . [9] The primary component is a mercury-manganese star [6] with a stellar classification of B8II/III. [3] These stars are often helium-weak, but this is one of the most normal members of this group in terms of helium abundance. [10] The system is a source for X-ray emission, which is most likely coming from the lower mass companion – it may even be a pre-main-sequence star. [4]
Xi2 Sagittarii, Latinized from ξ2 Sagittarii, is a star in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. Data collected during the Hipparcos mission suggests it is an astrometric binary, although nothing is known about the companion. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +3.51. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.93 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located around 370 light years from the Sun.
Lambda2 Sculptoris is an orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Sculptor. On dark nights it is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +5.90. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.63 mas as measured from Earth, it is located roughly 340 light-years from the Sun. It has a relatively large proper motion, advancing 0.284±0.015 arcsecond per year across the sky.
Omega Ursae Majoris is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.61. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.24 mas, it is roughly 246 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.11 due to interstellar dust.
Tau Virginis is a single star in the zodiac constellation Virgo. With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.28, it is faintly visible to the naked eye. The distance to Tau Virginis, based upon parallax measurements, is approximately 225 light years with a margin of error of ±3 light years.
5 Aquarii is a single star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius, located about 830 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax. 5 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.55. This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3 km/s.
56 Aquarii, abbreviated 56 Aqr, is a star in the constellation of Aquarius. 56 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is a sixth magnitude star, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.36, and thus is a challenge to view with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.07 mas, it is located around 643 light years from the Earth. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.12 due to interstellar dust. The star is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −28 km/s. It is a candidate runaway star showing a transverse peculiar velocity of 213.87 km/s.
HD 90264 is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Carina. It has the Bayer designation of L Carinae, while HD 90264 is the star's identifier in the Henry Draper catalogue. This system has a blue-white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.97. It is located at a distance of approximately 402 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of around +12 km/s. The system is a member of the Lower Centaurus Crux association of the Sco-Cen Complex.
3 Centauri is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus, located approximately 300 light years from the Sun.
