Its story

ο Virginis shines calmly within the Virgin, yet it hides an invisible companion. It is a binary system: a yellow giant eleven times the Sun, paired with a small white dwarf circling every 50.7 years. When that dwarf was once a dying giant, it sprayed its partner with heavy elements forged in nuclear fire. Today the giant still bears that chemical signature —a barium star.
