Nu Pavonisis a possibletriple star system[11]in the southernconstellationofPavo.It is visible to the naked eye as a faint star that varies inapparent visual magnitudefrom 4.60 to 4.64 over a period of 0.85584 days.[2]The system lies approximately 440light yearsfrom the Sun based onparallax,[1]and is drifting further away with aradial velocityof +17 km/s.[6]It is a possible member of the Wolf 630 group of co-moving stars.[3]

This is a single-linedspectroscopic binarysystem with anorbital periodof just 1.71 days in a circular orbit.[7]The unresolved[3]components are close enough that their tidal interaction is significant.[7]The visible component is aslowly pulsating B-type starwith astellar classificationof B7III.[4]This implies it is anevolvedgiant star,but it is actually more likely to be on themain sequence.AnX-ray emissionhas been detected from the pair.[3]
The third component is a visible companion, probably apre-main-sequence star,at magnitude 13.7 and separation3.1″.This star is estimated at 0.15 solar masses and an effective temperature of 3,192 K.[8]It too is an X-ray source.[3]
