25 Canum Venaticorum is a binary star[10] system in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici, approximately 199[1] light years from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.82[2] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of roughly −10 km/s.[2]

This is a wide binary system with an orbital period of 228 years and an eccentricity of 0.80.[5] As of 2001, they had a projected separation of Script error: No such module "val"..[6] The magnitude 4.98[3] primary, component A, has a stellar classification of A7 III,[4] which matches an A-type giant star. It is 659[7] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 235 km/s. This rate of spin is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 27% larger than the polar radius.[8] The companion, component B, is a magnitude 6.95[3] A-type main-sequence star with a class of A8 V:.[4] The ':' suffix indicates some uncertainty in the classification of this star.
