52 Hydrae is a triple star system[7] in the constellation Hydra. It has the Bayer designation l Hydrae; 52 Hydrae is the Flamsteed designation.[6] This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.97.[2] It is a probable (80% chance) member of the Sco OB2 moving group of stars,[8] and is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 5 km/s.[2]
The primary component is a binary system[7] consisting of two nearly equal components with an orbital period of around 15 years[9] and an angular separation of 0.1″.[7] It shows a combined stellar classification of B7/8V,[5] which matches a B-type main-sequence star. The third component is a magnitude 10.0 star at a separation of 4.2″[7] with a mass similar to the Sun. It is orbiting the inner pair with a period of around 3,900 years.[9]
