HR 4339 is a single[7]star in the equatorialconstellation of Hydra. It was designated as Beta Antliae by Lacaille, and Gould intended to keep it in that constellation. However, the delineating of constellation boundaries by the IAU in 1930 saw it transferred to Hydra.[5] It has a white hue and is just visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.79.[2] The distance to this star, as determined from parallax measurements, is approximately 366 light years.[1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +1.3 km/s.[2]
