RR Centauri is a variable star of apparent magnitude maximum +7.29. It is located in the constellation of Centaurus, approximately 320 light years distant from the solar system.[6]
The system is a contact binary of the W UMa type - two stars in physical contact whose two components share a gaseous envelope — with a variation in brightness of 0.41 magnitude.[7] Its spectral type is A9V or F0V.[1] The binary nature of the star was discovered in 1896 by the Scottish-South African astronomer Alexander Roberts, so the system has been well observed for over a century.[8] The primary component has a mass of 1.82 solar masses, an effective temperature of around 6900 K, and a radius somewhat larger than twice the solar radius.[7] The secondary component is 0.39 solar masses, giving a mass ratio of the system (q) of 0.210. the secondary has a temperature of about 6890 K and a radius is almost equal to the solar radius.
The orbital period of this system is 0.6057 days (14.54 h). Calculations by astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences show a possible cyclic variation in orbital period over 65.1±0.4 years whose amplitude is 0.0124±0.0007 d.[7] The origin of this periodic variation could be due to the gravitational influence of a third object yet observed. Superimposed on this variation seems to be a secular increase in the period of 1.21×10−7 d/a, suggesting that there is transfer of stellar mass from secondary to primary component. If this increase is confirmed, RR Centauri may evolve into a single rapidly rotating star.
