π Lupi (Latinised to Pi Lupi) is a multiple star system in the southern constellation Lupus. Two components form a wide binary pair with an orbital period of 517 years and a semimajor axis of 1.59″. At least one of the components is a spectroscopic binary. They belong to the Upper Centaurus Lupus component of the Sco–Cen Complex.[3]
