HR 3220 is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Carina. It has the Bayer designation B Carinae; HR 3220 is the designation from the Bright Star Catalogue. It has a yellow-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.75.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 59 light years from the Sun. The system is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +24 km/s.[4]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 2.46 years and an eccentricity of 0.12.[6] The visible component is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F6 V Fe-0.8 CH-0.4,[3] where the suffix notation indicates mild but anomalous underabundances of iron and the cyano radical. The secondary is most likely a helium white dwarf with 0.47 times the mass of the Sun. Mass transfer from the white dwarf progenitor has given the primary the spectral signature of a blue straggler that appears much younger than its actual age of about 10 billion years.[7]
