Procyon

Procyon (α CMi, α Canis Minoris, Alpha Canis Minoris) is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.

To the naked eye, it appears to be a single star, the eighth brightest in the Earth’s night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of 0.34. It is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main sequence star star of spectral type F5 IV–V, named Procyon A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DQZ, named Procyon B. The reason for its brightness is not its intrinsic luminosity but its relative closeness to Sol; it lies at a distance of just 11.46 light-years, and is therefore one of Earth’s nearest stellar neighbors. It is 1.4 times the mass, twice the radius, and 6.9 times more luminous than Sol.

This is one of the six Falkenhorst Reich systems.
