32 Orionis is a triple[3] star system in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It has the Bayer designation A Orionis, while 32 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.20.[2] It is located approximately 303 light-years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +18.6 km/s.[4]

The system is a member of the eponymous 32 Orionis group, a young, nearby association of 46 co-moving stars first discovered in 2007.[11]

The primary component of this system is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B5V[12] and a magnitude around 4.43. This is actually a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.964 days and eccentricity of 0.38.[3] The unseen companion has an estimated mass of 0.6 times that of the Sun.[13] Component B, at an angular separation of 1.08 from the primary, is a class B7V star with a magnitude of 5.8, orbiting with the primary at a period of 614 years and eccentricity 0.22.[14]
