HR 6875,previously known asSigma Telescopii,is a single[10]starin theconstellationCorona Australis.It has a blue-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitudeof 5.24.[2]This object is located at a distance of approximately 550light yearsfrom theSunbased onparallax.[1]It is listed as a member of theSco OB2association.[7]

This is a hotB-type main-sequence starwith astellar classificationof B3 V.[3]It is around 103[8]million years old and is spinning rapidly with aprojected rotational velocityof 248 km/s or perhaps higher.[7]The star has six[4]times themass of the Sunand about four[5]times theSun's radius.It is radiating more than a thousand[6]times theluminosity of the Sunfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof 20,350 K.[6]

A magnitude 10.13visual companionis located at anangular separationof74along aposition angleof 162°.[11]
