HD 134687 (e Lupi) is a binary star system in the southern constellation Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.81.[2] The distance to HD 134687 can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 7.6 mas,[1] yielding roughly 430 light years. It is a member of the ~11 million year old Upper Centaurus–Lupus subgroup of the Scorpius–Centaurus association, the closest OB association to the Sun.[11]

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system. The pair have a nearly circular orbit with an eccentricity of at or below 0.03 and a period of 0.901407 days (21.6338 h). The primary has an a sin i value of 2.735×105 km, which only gives a lower bound for the semimajor axis a since the orbital inclination i to the line of sight is unknown.[6] The system is a source for X-ray emission.[12]

The visible component has a stellar classification of B3 IV/V,[3] matching a B-type star showing a spectrum with mixed traits of a main sequence and a subgiant star. It is 20 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 13 km/s.[9] The star has 6.0[7] times the mass of the Sun and 7.1[8] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 997[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 17,100 K.[2]
