Theta Hydri, Latinized from θ Hydri, is a blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Hydrus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.53.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.50 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located approximately 502 light years. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.10 due to interstellar dust.[8] It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +12.3 km/s.[4]

A stellar classification of B8 III/IV[3] suggests it is an evolving B-type star showing mixed traits of a subgiant or giant star. It is a PGa star – a sub-class of the higher temperature chemically peculiar stars known as mercury-manganese stars (HgMn stars). That is, it displays a rich spectra of singly-ionized phosphorus and gallium, in addition to ionized mercury and manganese. As such, Theta Hydri forms a typical example of this type. The absorption lines for these ionized elements are found to vary, most likely as the result of uneven surface distribution combined with the star's rotation.[10] It is a helium-weak star, having helium lines that are anomalously weak for its spectral type.[6] A weak and variable longitudinal magnetic field has been detected.[10]

There is a nearby companion star of class A0 IV[11] located at an angular separation of 0.1 arc seconds along a position angle of 179°, as of 2002. Schöller et al. (2010) consider this to be a visual companion,[12] although Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) listed the pair as a probable binary star system.[11]
