19 Canum Venaticorum is a binary star[7] system in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici, located approximately 238 light years from Sun based on its parallax. It is dimly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.77.[2] The pair orbit each other with a period of 219.2 years and an eccentricity of 0.686.[7] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −21 km/s.[6]
The magnitude +5.87 primary, component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A7 V.[3] It is 366[9] million years old with twice[4] the mass of the Sun and 2.5[8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 25.5[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,048 K.[9] It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 110 km/s.[4] As of 2012, its companion, designated component B, is a magnitude 9.48 star located 0.60 arcseconds from the primary along a position angle of 58°.[3]
