Psi Centauri (ψ Cen, ψ Centauri) is a binary star[6] system in the constellation Centaurus. The primary component is a white A-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of +4.05.[2] It is approximately 259 light years from Earth. The pair are orbiting each other with a period of 38.81 days and an eccentricity of 0.55.[6] The system displays an infrared excess at a wavelength of 60 μm, indicating the presence of a circumstellar debris disk with a temperature of 120 K, orbiting at a distance of 64 AU.[7]
