HD 96146 (HR 4313) is a binary star[14] located in the southern constellation Antlia. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.41,[2] making it visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft place the pair at a distance of 710 light years with a large margin of error. It is currently receding with a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of 4.7 km/s.[1]
The object's status as a double star was not known until a 1991 Hipparcos survey of double stars. Since the pair's current projected separation is around 0.04 arcseconds, it makes it difficult to distinguish both components. Nevertheless, they are located along a position angle of 226°. The secondary has been observed using speckle interferometry to be 1.8 magnitudes fainter than the visible star.[15]
The primary has a stellar classification of A0 V, indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. Zorec and Royer (2012) model it as a dwarf star that is 99.5% through its main sequence lifetime, close to the subgiant phase. It has 3.84 times the mass of the Sun[6] and an enlarged radius of 6.17 R☉.[7] HD 96146 shines with a luminosity 220 times that of the Sun[8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,750 K, giving a white hue. HD 96146 is currently 291 million years old[11] and unlike most hot stars, spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of only 10 km/s.[10]
