Epsilon Normae (ε Nor) is a star in the constellation Norma. Its apparent magnitude is 4.52.[1] It is a spectroscopic binary, with two B-type main sequence stars of spectral type B3V, of almost equal mass orbiting each other every 3.26 days. There is a third star separated by 22 arcseconds, which has a magnitude of 7.5 and is likely a smaller B-type main sequence star of spectral type B9V.[2]
