HR 6875, previously known as Sigma Telescopii, is a single[10] star in the constellation Corona Australis. It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.24.[2] This object is located at a distance of approximately 550 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is listed as a member of the Sco OB2 association.[7]
This is a hot B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V.[3] It is around 103[8] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 248 km/s or perhaps higher.[7] The star has six[4] times the mass of the Sun and about four[5] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating more than a thousand[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 20,350 K.[6]
A magnitude 10.13 visual companion is located at an angular separation of 74″ along a position angle of 162°.[11]
