Chi Lupi (Chi Lup, χ Lupi, χ Lup) is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation of Lupus.[1] It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 3.957.[1] The primary star in the binary is a mercury-manganese star of spectral type B9.5V; the secondary is a metallic-lined star of type A2Vm.[2]
This system is a proper motion member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, the nearest such co-moving association of massive stars to the Sun.[5] The Upper Scorpius subgroup contains thousands of stars with an average age of 11 million years old at with mean distances of 145 parsecs (470 light years).[6]
