HD 73882
HD 73882 is a visual binary system with the components separated by 0.6″ and a combined spectral class of O8.[6] One of stars is an eclipsing binary system. The period of variability is listed as both 2.9199 days and 20.6 days, possibly due to the secondary being a spectroscopic binary star.[7][8]

The system lies in the constellation of Vela about 2,400 light years away from the Sun and is a member of the open cluster Ru 64.[9]
Circumstellar nebula
The star system, located behind the Vela Supernova Remnant,[10] is obscured by the translucent nebula Gum 14, located near the Vela Molecular Ridge nebulae complex. The nebula is illuminated by this star system and probably has a close physical association with it, together with brighter reflection nebula NGC 2626. The nebulae are rich in hydrogen (including deuterated hydrogen)[11] and also contain detectable amounts of sodium, carbon monoxide, and other carbon compounds,[2] including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,[12] and thiols.[13] The nebula associated with the HD 73882 is one of the few exhibiting emission from compounds containing three carbon atoms.[14] The nebula has unusually low levels of oxygen compared to the average interstellar medium.[15]
