HD 17925 is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus. It has the Gould designation 32 G. Eridani and the variable star designation EP Eri. The star has a yellow-orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye in good seeing conditions with an apparent visual magnitude that varies from 6.03 down to 6.08.[18] It is located nearby at a distance of 34 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[2] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +18 km/s.[8] It is a likely member of the Local Association of nearby, co-moving stars.[13] The spectrum shows a strong abundance of lithium, indicating that it is young star.[4] This likely makes its point of origin the nearby Scorpio–Centaurus Complex.[19]

The stellar classification of HD 17925 is K1V,[5] which indicates this is a K-type main-sequence star that is engaged in core hydrogen fusion. It is an active star[4] that is classified as a RS Canum Venaticorum variable,[18] showing a rotational modulation with a period of 6.9 days, and has been observed to flare.[7] The star has an estimated age of 100[15] million years and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4.8 km/s.[14] The rotation period of 6.6 days days can be determined from its activity cycle.[13] The star has 88%[10] of the mass of the Sun and 85%[11] of the Sun's radius. It is radiating 41%[2] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,225 K.[12]

The presence of an unseen companion has been suggested based on variations in the widths of absorption lines in the star's photosphere.[4] It displays low-amplitude radial velocity variation, which may indicate it is a spectroscopic binary.[11] However, the binary hypothesis doesn't appear to be consistent with Hipparcos satellite data.[13] An infrared excess has been detected around this star, most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 17.9 AU. The temperature of this dust is 52 K.[21]
