Lovely contrast with stellar spectral types G8 and A0.
Latest GAIA parallax data from SIMBAD would put the stars at very similar distances. So, they may actually be a gravitational pair rather than just a line of sight coincidence.
SIMBAD also classifies it as V Pup but this appears to be an error as there is another V Pup in the database.
