WZ Columbae, also known as HD 38170, is a solitary,[18] bluish-white hued star located in the southern constellation Columba, the dove. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.28,[3] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is about 365 light years distant.[2] It appears to be receding from the Solar System, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 36.3 km/s.[9]

WZ Columbae was originally listed as a slowly pulsating B-type star by the General Catalogue of Variable Stars. However, observations from Hempel & Howlger (2003) reveal it to be overabundant in strontium and barium.[14] Combined with Hipparcos photometry, this led to the object being reclassified as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable.[8] Based on data collected in the Hipparcos passband, it fluctuates between magnitudes 5.27 and 5.29 over 1.38 days.[7][19] However, TESS data suggests a period of 2.76618±0.00004 days; double that of the earlier data.[16]

The stellar classification of WZ Columbae is B9/9.5 V[5] — a main-sequence star with the characteristics of a B9 and B9.5 star. It has 3.07[4] times the mass of the Sun and is estimated to be 394 million years old,[16] having completed 89.2% of its main sequence lifetime.[4] It has a slightly enlarged radius of 3.47 R☉[11] and an effective temperature of 10,000 K.[4] This yields a luminosity 124 times that of the Sun[12] from its photosphere. Like most chemically peculiar stars, WZ Columbae has a relatively slow projected rotational velocity at 65 km/s.[15]
