HD 89890 is the brightest member of a multiple star system with at least four components,[3] located in the southern constellation of Vela. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.50.[2] The annual parallax shift of 2.6 mas[1] provides a distance estimate of around 1,200 light-years (370 parsecs). It is moving further away from Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[4]

System[]

The Washington Double Star Catalog lists three visible components for this system. The brightest, component A, is of visual magnitude 4.50. Component B has a magnitude of 7.179,[8] and as of 2000 lies at an angular separation of 7.10″ from A, along a position angle (PA) of 102°. Component C is a magnitude 9.125 star[8] at a separation of 36.20″ from A at a PA of 191°. The physical link between the stars was described on the basis of their dynamic parallax and mean velocities.[9] The three components A, B and C have Gaia Data Release 2 parallaxes of 2.6564±0.2314 mas, 2.1771±0.0490 mas, and 1.6097±0.0400 mas, respectively.[1]

Properties[]

Component A has a stellar classification of B3 III, and is categorized as a Be star. It shows photometric variations with multiple periods around 4.6 days and line-profile variations with a period of 2.318 days. The radial velocity of this star is constant.[3] It has 10[6] times the Sun's radius and shines with 3,082[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,000 K.[6]

The component B shows a variation in spectra consistent with being a double-lined spectroscopic binary. The brighter member (Ba) is a silicon star with a class of A0 IVpSi, while the fainter component (Bb) is of type A2. Component C has a class of K0 III, indicating it is an evolved giant star. The measured effective temperature of C is 5,500 K. The fact that component A most likely shares a common origin with C suggests that the former is much older than expected, and may actually be a blue straggler formed from the merger of a close binary. This could have been caused by the gravitational influence of an unseen companion of A.[3]
