HD 167257 (HR 6821) is a solitary star in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.05,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of 420 light years[1] and has a radial velocity of −5.1 km/s,[6] which is poorly constrained. This indicates that it is drifting towards the Solar System.
HD 167257 has a stellar classification of B9 V,[4] indicating that it is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star. It has 2.63 times the mass of the Sun,[3] and 2.8 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It shines with a luminosity of about 65 L☉[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,139 K,[9] giving it a bluish white hue. HD 167257 is estimated to be about 240 million years old[10] – 58.6% through its main sequence lifetime[3] – and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 61 km/s;[11] it has a solar metallicity.[10]
