Sigma Puppis, Latinized from σ Puppis, is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Puppis. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.25,[2] which is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye at night from the Southern Hemisphere. Through a telescope, it appears as a bright, orange-hued star with a nearby white companion.[10] Parallax measurements indicate this star is located at a distance of about 194 light-years (59 parsecs) from Earth.[1]

This is a spectroscopic binary system,[9] consisting of an orbiting pair of stars that have not been individually resolved with a telescope. Their orbital period is 257.8 days and the eccentricity is 0.17.[6] The pair form an eclipsing binary of the Beta Lyrae type and a period of 130.5 days, or one half of their orbital period. The eclipse of the primary component causes a decline of 0.04 of a magnitude, while the secondary eclipse reduces the magnitude by 0.03.[11][12]

The combined stellar classification is K5 III,[3] which matches the spectrum of a giant star. The measured angular diameter of the primary star is 16.71 ± 2.84 mas.[13] At the estimated distance of this system, this yields a physical size of about 107 times the radius of the Sun.[7] The primary component shows the behavior of a slow irregular variable.[11][12]

In addition to its binary components, Sigma Puppis has a more distant companion that has a matching proper motion, suggesting that it may be gravitationally bound to the binary. This magnitude 8.5[10] star is at an angular separation of 22.4 arcseconds with a position angle of 74° from Sigma Puppis, which is equivalent to a projected separation of 1,200 AU.[14] In 1970, American astronomer Olin J. Eggen suggested that Sigma Puppis belonged to a moving group of stars that share a similar motion through space, and thereby a common origin. It served as the eponym for this, the σ Puppis group.[15] The existence of this group was later brought into question.[16]
