Chi Octantis, Latinized from χ Octantis, is a solitary[11] star in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.28,[2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Located 261 light years away,[1] it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity 33.6 km/s.[5]

Chi Octantis is an orange giant with 125% the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 14.45 R☉.[7] It shines at 62.8 times the luminosity of the Sun[8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,266 K,[7] giving it an orange glow. Chi Oct is metal enriched with an iron abundance 126% that of the Sun[9] and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity less than 1 km/s−1.[10]
