HD 88955 is a single,[11] white-hued star in the southern constellation of Vela. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 3.85.[3] The distance to HD 88955 can be determined from its annual parallax shift of 31.6 mas,[2] which yields a distance of 103 light years from the Sun. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +7 km/s.[5] Bayesian analysis suggests HD 88955 is a member of the Argus Association,[12] a group of co-moving stars usually associated with the IC 2391 open cluster.

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V.[3] It is about 410 million years old[6] with a projected rotational velocity of 100 km/s.[9] The star has 2.17 times the mass of the Sun[6] and 2.11 times the Sun's radius.[6] It is radiating 23 times the Sun's luminosity[6] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,451 K.[7] An infrared excess has been detected from HD 88955, which analysis suggests is a (3.6±3.0)×10−7 M🜨 debris disc with a mean temperature of 138±21 K orbiting the host star at an average distance of 19.3±5.7 astronomical unit|AU.[13]
