KT Lupi is a visual binary star[5] system in the constellation Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.55.[3] As of 1983, the pair had an angular separation of 2.19″±0.03″.[10] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.6 mas[2] as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located 430 light-years from the Sun. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +6.5 km/s.[7] It is a member of the Lower Centaurus–Crux sub-group of the Scorpius–Centaurus association.[5]

This article is about d Lupi. It is not to be confused with δ Lupi.

The primary, component A, is a variable Be star,[6] with the variation being modulated by rotation.[13] It is visual magnitude 4.66[4] with a stellar classification of B3 V,[5] matching a B-type main-sequence star. Hiltner et al. (1969) gave a class of B3 IVp,[14] which is still used in some studies.[8][9][10] It is a helium-weak chemically peculiar star showing an enhanced silicon patch near the equator and a silicon-weak region close to the pole.[10] The star is about 21 million years old with nearly six[8] times the mass of the Sun and three times the Sun's radius.[9] It is radiating roughly 794[10] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 18,400 K.[9]

The secondary companion, component B, is of magnitude 6.62[4] with a class of B6 V.[5] It has 2.79 times the Sun's mass.[11]
