HD 115600 is a star in the constellation Centaurus and a member of the Scorpius–Centaurus association, the nearest OB association to the Sun and the host star of a bright Kuiper belt-like debris ring.[4]
The star has a spectral type of F2/F3V and is about 50% more massive than the Sun[2] and is located approximately 110.5 parsecs (360 ly) distant from Earth.[1] It is around 15 million years old.[4] Data from the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed a large infrared excess consistent with the presence of a luminous, dusty circumstellar disk.[5]
