HR 6875, previously known as Sigma Telescopii, is a single [10] star in the constellation Corona Australis. It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.24. [2] This object is located at a distance of approximately 550 light years from the Sun based on parallax. [1] It is listed as a member of the Sco OB2 association. [7]
This is a hot B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V. [3] It is around 103 [8] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 248 km/s or perhaps higher. [7] The star has six [4] times the mass of the Sun and about four [5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating more than a thousand [6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 20,350 K. [6]
A magnitude 10.13 visual companion is located at an angular separation of 74 ″ along a position angle of 162°. [11]
