Epsilon Normae, Latinised from ε Normae, is a blue-white hued triple star[3] system in the southern constellation of Norma. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.47,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.15 mas as seen from Earth,[1] the system is located around 530 light years distant from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.21 due to interstellar dust.[5]
The inner pair form a double-lined spectroscopic binary[10] system with an orbital period of 3.26 days and an eccentricity of 0.13.[6] Both stars appear to be similar B-type main-sequence stars with stellar classifications of B4 V.[3] The third component has an angular separation of 22.8 arc seconds from the inner pair, and most likely is a smaller B-type main sequence star of spectral type B9V.[3] The system is relatively young, with an estimated age of around 50 million years.[7]
