Xi Orionis (ξ Orionis) is a binary star system in the northeastern part of the constellation of Orion, well above the red giant star Betelgeuse in the sky. It lies next to another blue main-sequence star, Nu Orionis, which is somewhat closer at 520 light-years' distance. The apparent visual magnitude of Xi Orionis is 4.47,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined using the parallax method, is roughly 610 light-years.[1]

This is a spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 45.1 days and an eccentricity of 0.26.[5] The primary component is a B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B3 IV.[3] With an estimated age of just 32 million years,[3] it has a relatively high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 160 km/s.[7] Xi Orionis has about 6.7 times the mass of the Sun,[3] and shines with 1,390 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 15,476 K.[6]
