b3 Hydrae (6 Crateris) is a star in the constellation Hydra at a distance of approximately 98 light-years (about 30 parsecs) from the Sun. It has three optical companions, which are background stars located much farther away.

Description

b3 Hydrae (WDS J10535-2008A) is a yellow-white main sequence star with the spectral type of F5V. The apparent magnitude of the star is +5.232. It has about 1.5 M☉, its radius is about 1.9 R☉ and the luminosity is about 6.0 L☉. The age of the star is determined to be about 1.647 billion years.[4] The effective temperature is about 6,505 K.

Optical companions

BD−19 3124

The secondary (BD−19 3124) is a yellow main sequence star of spectral type G5.[9] The apparent magnitude of the star is +9.6.[10] The mass is about 1.5 M☉, the radius is about 2.1 R☉, the luminosity is about 7.2 L☉. The effective temperature is about 6,566 K. It is 119.6 arcseconds away from b3 Hydrae[11] and about 774 light-years (237 parsecs) away from the Solar System.[12]

UCAC2 23866861

The third component (UCAC2 23866861) is a yellow dwarf of spectral type G. The apparent magnitude of the star is +11.6.[13] The mass is about 0.9 M☉, the radius is about 1.2 R☉, the luminosity is about 1.4 L☉. The effective temperature is about 5,761 K. It is separated from BD−19 3124 by 13.7 arc seconds[11] and is about 850 light-years (260 parsecs) away from the Solar System.[14]

UCAC2 23866855

The fourth component (UCAC2 23866855) is a yellow-white star of spectral type F. The apparent magnitude of the star is +13.5.[15] The effective temperature is about 6,236 K. It is located 40.5 arc seconds away from BD−19 3124[11] and is about 3,820 light-years (1,170 parsecs) away from the Solar System.[16]
