Delta Canis Majoris is a supergiant of class F8 with a radius around 215 times that of the Sun. Its surface temperature is around 5,818 K, and it is 17 times more massive than the Sun. Its absolute magnitude is −6.87, and it lies around 1,600 light-years away. It is rotating at a speed of around 28 km/s, and hence may take a year to rotate fully. Ingori nemakore angangoita mamiriyoni gumi chete, Delta Canis Majoris yakamira kusanganisa hydrogen mukati mayo. Envelope yayo yekunze iri kutanga kuwedzera nekutonhora, uye mumakore zana anotevera ichava supergiant tsvuku sezvo musimboti wayo uchisanganisa zvinhu zvinorema uye zvinorema. Kana yangova nesimbi musimboti, ichadonha nekuputika se supernova.
