Omicron Hydrae (ο Hya) is the Bayer designation for a solitary[11] star in the equatorial constellation Hydra. At one time it bore the Flamsteed designation 25 Crateris, but this is no longer used by astronomers so as to avoid confusion.[12] With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.70,[3] this star is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.27 mas,[2] it is located around 449 light years from the Sun.
This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V.[4] It has completed an estimated 98.4%±1.1% of its lifetime on the main sequence. With 3.56[6] times the mass of the Sun, it radiates 309 times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 10,495 K.[6] The rate of spin is relatively high, with a projected rotational velocity of 160 km/s.[6]
