Mu Eridani
Mu Eridani is a binary star system in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.00. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 0.00625 arcseconds, it is located roughly 520 light years from the Sun.
In 1910, this was determined to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system. The pair orbit each other with a period of 7.38 days and an eccentricity of 0.344, during which they undergo Algol-like eclipses. The primary is a slowly [pulsating B-type star] with a stellar classification of B5 IV. Additionally, the variability of the star's brightness due to pulsations was first detected by Gerald Handler et al. in 2004. One year later, Mikołaj Jerzykiewicz et al. announced that eclipses had been detected. It has a relatively high rate of rotation with a projected rotational velocity of 130 km/s, which is at least 30% of the star's break-up velocity. The star has about six times the Sun's mass and radius, and it shines with 1,905 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 15,668 K.
