Nu Doradus, Latinized from ν Doradus, is a single,[10] blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Dorado. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.06.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.88 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located about 300 light years from the Sun.[11] At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.07 due to interstellar dust. It is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +17.5 km/s.[4]

This is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star, as indicated by its stellar classification of B8 V.[3] It is an estimated 118[6] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 98 km/s.[6] The star has 2.7[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 3.2[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 107[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photoshere at an effective temperature of 11,381 K.[6] No infrared excess has been detected.[12]
