Binary star system in the constellation Orion

HD 37756 is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Orion, positioned less than a degree to the north of the bright star Alnitak.[13] It has a blue-white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.95.[2] The system is located at a distance of approximately 900 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +26 km/s.[6] It is a member of the OB1b subgroup of the Orion OB1 association.[14]

The binary nature of this system was identified by E. B. Frost in 1904.[15] It is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 27.15 days and a high eccentricity of 0.74.[7] The spectrum matches a massive B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3V.[4] The secondary is luminous enough to interfere with measurements of the primary spectrum.[15] It is a suspected Cepheid variable with a period of 0.37968 days and an amplitude of 0.03 magnitude in the B band of the UBV photometric system.[16] The system is a candidate eclipsing binary with a minimum dip of 0.04 in visual magnitude during each orbit.[17]
