Izar

Izar nicknamed Pulcherrima (most beautiful)  is actually a binary star, consisting of a bright orange giant and a smaller main sequence star. The orange giant is a fairly late-stage star well into its stellar evolution, having already exhausted its supply of hydrogen fuel. By the time the smaller main sequence star reaches this point in its evolution, the primary star will have lost much of its mass in a planetary nebula and will have evolved into a white dwarf, and the pair will have essentially changed roles: the primary star becoming the dim dwarf, while the lesser A star will shine as a bright orange giant.
