HD 85622 is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Vela. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.58. The distance to HD 85622 can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of , yielding a value of 750 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +8 km/s.
This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a circular orbit and a period of 329.3 days. The "a" sin "i" value is , where "a" is the semimajor axis and "i" is the orbital inclination to the line of sight. This value provides a lower bound on the actual semimajor axis. The system shows a micro-variability in its brightness, and is a source of X-ray emission with an apparent flux of .
The visible component is a supergiant star with a stellar classification of G5 Ib or G6 IIa. It is about 64 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 19 km/s. The star has 6.2 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 1,908 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,796 K.
