FG Virginis is a well-studied variable star in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It is a dim star, near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye, with an apparent visual magnitude that ranges from 6.53 down to 6.58.[4] The star is located at a distance of 273.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[2] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +16 km/s.[7] Because of its position near the ecliptic, it is subject to lunar occultations.[13]

The variability of this star was first reported by O. J. Eggen in 1971, who classified it as an ultra-short period cepheid – a proposed category of pulsating stars in the instability strip.[14] It was subsequently grouped in the class of Delta Scuti variables, which show a pulsation period of less than a day.[15] Observations in 1984 by P. Lopez de Coca showed at least one pulsation period with a cycle of 1.9 hours.[16] L. Mantegazza and associates in 1994 were able to detect seven or more pulsation modes, with the previously detected dominant mode being a radial pulsation with a frequency of 12.72 cycles per day.[17]

The star became of interest to astroseismology study because of its relatively slow rotation rate and the numerous modes of pulsation. A multi-site campaign involving the Whole Earth Telescope network was conducted in 1993 to observe this star, which detected ten modes.[1] This was increased to 24 frequencies in 1998,[18] then 67 independent frequencies with 79 total by 2005. Evidence suggests there are many more such modes.[19]

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A8/9V,[5] but is near the end of its main sequence lifetime.[11] It is classified as a Delta Scuti variable that varies in brightness with an amplitude of 0.040 in visual magnitude and a period of 1.89 hours.[6] Element abundances are similar to the Sun, although there is a slight overabundance of barium and underabundances of sulfur and carbon.[20] It has a projected rotational velocity of 21 km/s, but the actual rotational velocity is likely much higher at around 80 km/s.[11]
