Procyon is actually a binary system. The heavier component, Procyon A, has about twice the radius and 1 and a half times the mass of the Sun. The smaller, lighter Procyon B is about 3/5 the mass and 1/8 the radius of the Sun.
Procyon is, in fact, a double star system. The primary star is white and its atmosphere has an effective temperature of 6530 K.
Procyon is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.It is about twice the size of our own Sun.
