11 Puppis is a single[9] star in the southern constellation of Puppis, located approximately 522 light years away based on parallax.[1] It has the Bayer designation j Puppis; 11 Puppis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.20.[2] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +13.3 km/s.[4]

This is an evolved bright giant star with a stellar classification of F7/8 II.[2] The spectrum displays a deficit of carbon, an excesses of nitrogen, and a high abundance of lithium.[5] The first two anomalies suggest the giant has passed through a deep convection stage that would have also exhausted the lithium supply, indicating the current lithium abundance is of recent production. The star has 2.7[5] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 515[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,868 K.[6]
