HD 3
The stellar classification of this star is A1 Vn, indicating it is an A-type main-sequence star with "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is a Lambda Boötis candidate star, being classified as chemically-peculiar by Abt & Morrell (1995). Murphy et al. (2015) list the membership likelihood as uncertain. HD 3 has 2.36 times the mass of the Sun and about 1.9 times the Sun's radius. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 228 km/s. The star is radiating around 43.5 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 9,057 K.
HD 3 has two visual companions. Component B is a magnitude 13.70 star at an angular separation of 16″ along a position angle (PA) of 107°, as of 2016. The third star, component C, is magnitude 10.58 and lies at a separation of 21″ along a PA of 235°, also as of 2016.
