HD 174179 is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has a white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.06.[2] The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,280 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −15 km/s.[2]

The star is an estimated 33[4] million years old with a low projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s.[6] It has 6.6[4] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 2,036[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 17,900 K.[5]

HD 174179 is a Be star, showing Balmer emission lines in its spectrum at times. It has a stellar classification of B3IVp,[4] with 'p' indicating spectral features of a shell star.[3] A 1976 study found no emission features,[9] but the star was reported to show emission lines again in later studies.[10][11]
