Epsilon Hydri, Latinized from ε Hydri, is a single,^[8] blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Hydrus. It is a faint star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.12,^[2] but it can be seen with the naked eye. Measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft showed an annual parallax shift of 21.48 mas,^[1] which provides a distance estimate of 152 light years. The star is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +13.6 km/s.^[4] It is a member of the Tucana-Horologium moving group, an association of stars that share a common motion through space.^[9]

The stellar classification for this star is B9 Va,^[2] indicating that is it a B-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is a young star, just 133^[7] million years in age, and has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 96 km/s.^[5] This is giving the star a mild oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 5% greater than the polar radius.^[10] Epsilon Hydri has an estimated 2.64 times the mass of the Sun and 2.2 times the Sun's radius.^[5] It is radiating 60^[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 10,970 K.^[7]
