[6] This is a relatively fast rotating star that completes a full revolution approximately every 1.5 days.

(Compare this to the Sun, which at only 22 percent of this star's diameter rotates only once every 25.4 days.)

This rate of rotation is fairly typical for stars of this class.

Their common point of origin intersects with Iota Orionis in the Trapezium cluster, some two and half million years in the past.

[9] In Chinese astronomy, Mu Columbae is called 屎, Pinyin: Shǐ, meaning "Excrement" or "The Secretions", because this star is marking itself and stand alone in the asterism of the same name within the Three Stars mansion.
