11 Canis Minoris

11 Canis Minoris is a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Canis Minor,[7] located around 313 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.25.[2] This object is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +28 km/s,[4] having come to within 157 light-years some 2.35 million years ago.[2]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1Vnn,[3] where the 'n' notation indicates (very) "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. However, Gray and Garrison (1987) found a class of A0.5 IVnn,[9] which would instead match an evolving subgiant star. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type.[10] This object is 149[5] million years old with 2.23[5] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.5[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 65[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,972 K.[5]
