Xi2 Lupi (ξ2 Lup, ξ2 Lupi) is a member of a double star[8] with Xi1 Lupi in the southern constellation of Lupus. As of 2004, the pair had an angular separation of 10.254 arcseconds along a position angle of 49.21°.[9] Xi2 Lupi is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.55.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 21.71[1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 150 light-years from the Sun. It has a peculiar velocity of 14.3±1.9 km/s relative to its neighbors, and is probably (86% chance) a runaway star.[10]
This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V.[3] It has an estimated 2.38[5] times the mass of the Sun and radiates 10.6[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,725 K.[5] Xi2 Lupi is about 381 million years old and is spinning relatively rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 184 km/s.[5]
