Gamma Columbae, Latinized from γ Columbae, is a possible wide binary star system[2] in the southern constellation of Columba. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.36.[5] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.75 mas,[1] it is located roughly 870 light years from the Sun.

The primary component is an evolved[6] B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B2.5 IV.[3] It is a candidate slowly pulsating B-type star with a mean longitudinal magnetic field strength of 94±28 G.[6] The star has nearly six times the mass of the Sun and close to five times the Sun's girth.[6] It is radiating over 2,000 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 12,904 K.[9] The estimated age of this star is around 24 million years.[11] At this age, it is thought to be the remnant of a once more massive star that just finished hydrogen fusion, and is undergoing structural readjustment. This process is extremely short, on the order of ten thousand years, making it a rare object.[10]

The visual magnitude 12.664[2] companion is a G-type main sequence star with a classification of G8 V.[4] It lies at an angular separation of 33.8 arc seconds from the primary, which corresponds to a projected physical separation of 8,844 AU.[2] Despite the young age of these stars, there has been no X-ray emission detected.[2]
