HD 176871 is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Lyra, positioned near the southern constellation border with Vulpecula. This object has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.69.[1] It is located at a distance of approximately 790 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and has an absolute magnitude of −0.80.[1] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −20 km/s.[1]
This is a normal B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B5V,[3] which means it is generating energy via core hydrogen fusion. The star is around 11[4] million years old with 5.4[4] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 268 km/s.[7] It is radiating 233[10] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,540 K.[10]
