Scientific overview

HR 3035 is a subgiant in the constellation Puppis (Puppis), lying about 1,055.5 light-years from Earth.

Class B. Hot, blue-white stars. Massive and luminous, they often light up the regions where they form. Such stars have surface temperatures around 10,000–30,000 K and appear blue-white to the eye.
