HD 83446 is a probable astrometric binary[10] star system in the constellation Vela. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.34.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 30.5 mas,[1] it is located 107.1 light years from the Sun. The system is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +18 km/s.[6]

The visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A7 V.[4] Observations with the BRITE constellation led to this star's identification as a Delta Scuti variable with pulsation frequencies of 31.0806 and 34.2098 cycles per day, corresponding to periods of 46.3 and 42.1 minutes, respectively.[5] It has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 155 km/s, which is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 6% larger than the polar radius.[8] The star is roughly 453[7] million years old with 1.8[7] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 16[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,331 K.[7]
