Mu Lupi (μ Lup) is a system of three confirmed stars and one brown dwarf[3] in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.29[2] and lies roughly 340 light-years from the Sun.
Two of the components of this system, A and B, form a pair with an angular separation of 1.657 arcseconds. An orbital solution gives an orbital period of 772 years. Component C, an A-type main-sequence star, lies at an angular separation of 23.3 arcseconds from the AB pair,[3] and is itself a binary with an orbital period of 12.35 days. Its companion has a mass of 0.05 M☉, too low to fuse hydrogen, and thus it is considered a brown dwarf.[6] A fifth component, not confirmed to be a physical companion, lies at an angular separation of 6.10 arcseconds from component AB, and with a mass of 0.05 M☉ is also a brown dwarf.[3]
