HD 47500, also known as HR 2446, is a binary star [15] in the southern constellation Columba. The primary has an apparent magnitude of 5.91, [1] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. As for the companion, its visual magnitude is 7.51. [1] The system is located relatively far at a distance of 1,120 light years based on parallax measurements, [6] and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 21 km/s. [5]

The binary nature of this system was first discovered by Richard Alfred Rossiter in 1942. [16] Their current separation is half of an arcsecond, making it difficult to measure the components properties. Nevertheless, the secondary component is located along a position angle of 4° as of 1999. [17]

HD 47500 has a stellar classification of B6 IV-V, [3] a B-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and main sequence star. Hube (1970) gave the primary a slightly cooler class of B7 III, [18] indicating that it is already a giant star, while Houk (1982) gave it a class of B5/7 IV, [19] intermediate between a B5 and B7 subgiant. Nevertheless, it is estimated to be 34 million years old, having completed 98.5% of its main sequence lifetime. [2] HD 47500 A has 5.01 times the mass of the Sun [8] and an enlarged radius of 7.33  R☉. [9] It radiates 1,482 times the luminosity of the Sun. [2] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,703  K , [11] giving it a bluish-white hue. Unlike most hot stars, the object spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 36  km/s . [12]
