HD 93905 (HR 4238) is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Antlia. The star has an absolute magnitude of 0[2] and an apparent magnitude of 5.61,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located 371 light years[1] away based on its parallax shift and is drifting closer with a helocentric radial velocity of −9.6 km/s.[6]
This star has a classification of A1 V,[4] which indicates that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star that is fusing hydrogen at its core. At present it has 2.78[3] times the mass of the Sun but is large and over luminous for its class with 3.89[7] times and 101[3] times the radius and luminosity of the Sun respectively. This is because HD 93905 has already completed most of its main sequence lifetime at an age of 256 million years.[3] HD 93905 has a surface temperature of 8,895 K[3] and spins quickly with a projected rotational velocity of 85 km/s.[9]
