Eta Octantis, Latinized from η Octantis, is a solitary star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.19,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye. The object is situated at a distance of 358 light years[1] but is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.7 km/s.[6]

Eta Octantis has a stellar classification of A1 Va,[4] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main sequence star. At present it has 2.37 times the Sun's mass[3] and 2.6 times the Sun's radius.[8] It shines with a luminosity of 45 L☉[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,500 K, giving a white hue.[9] Eta Octantis is a rapidly rotating star, with a projected rotational velocity of 152 km/s,[11] and is estimated to be 547 million years old,[10] having completed 72% of its main sequence lifetime.[3]
