HY Velorum is a binary star[7] system in the southern constellation of Vela. It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.83.[5] The distance to this system, as estimated from its annual parallax shift of 7.1 mas,[2] is 460 light years. HY Vel most likely forms a gravitationally bound pair with the magnitude 5.45 binary system KT Vel (HD 74535);[12] both are members of the IC 2391 open cluster.[13] As of 1998, HY Vel and KT Vel had an angular separation of 76.1″ along a position angle of 311°.[14]
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 8.4 days and an eccentricity of 0.24. The visible component has an a sin i value of 0.006 AU, where a is the semimajor axis and i is the (unknown) orbital inclination to the line of sight.
The primary is a slowly pulsating B-type star having at least three pulsational modes, with the dominant mode showing a frequency of 0.64472 cycles per day,[7] corresponding to the catalogued period of 1.55106 days.[3] It has a stellar classification of B3 IV, matching a B-type subgiant star.[4]
