HR 3562 (HD 76566) is a visual binary consisting of a bluish-white hued variable star and a Sun-like secondary star in the southern constellation of Vela. It has the variable-star designation IY Velorum (abbreviated to IY Vel). With an apparent magnitude of 6.26, the brighter primary is near the limit for naked eye visibility. The fainter companion has an apparent magnitude of 12.639 and can be observed with a telescope with an aperture of 76 mm or wider. It is located approximately 373 parsecs (1,220 ly) distant according to Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements, and is receding away from the Solar System at a heliocentric radial velocity of 22.0 km/s.
