HD 64440

HD 64440, also known as a Puppis, is a spectroscopic binary[3] star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 3.71.[2] Located around 108 parsecs (350 ly) distant,[1] the primary is a bright giant of spectral type K1.5II and the secondary is an early A-type star. They orbit with a period just under 7 years and eccentricity 0.38.[3]
