Star in the constellation Corona Australis
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]
