# HD 31093

HD 31093, also known as HR 1559, is a visual binary located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. The components have a combined apparent magnitude of 5.83, making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Hipparcos spacecraft, the system is estimated to be 268 light years distant. They appear to be receding from the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of 24 km/s.

The components have stellar classifications of A1 and A4 V, indicating that both of them are A-type main-sequence stars. Since the components have a separation of 1⁄4 arcseconds, it is difficult to distinguish individually through a telescope. The primary has a mass 1.85 times that of the Sun while the secondary has a mass of 1.58 $M_☉.$ They take 43 years to circle each other in an eccentric orbit.
