OU Puppis (OU Pup) is a chemically peculiar class A0 (white main-sequence) star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is about 4.9 and it is approximately 188 light-years away based on parallax.
It is an α2 CVn variable, ranging from 4.93 to 4.86 magnitudes with a period of 0.92 of a day. [5] Its spectrum has unusually strong lines of silicon, chromium, and strontium, making it an Ap star. [9]
Unlike the majority of star pairs, the number attached to the Bayer designation 'L' is generally a subscript: L1. Its better-known companion L2 Puppis is similarly represented. [10]
