HD 137366 is a solitary blue-hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.38,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively far at a distance of approximately 1,100 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but its heliocentric radial velocity is not known. At its current distance, HD 137366's brightness is diminished by three-tenths of a magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[12] and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.54.[4]
HD 137366 has a stellar classification of B3 V,[3] indicating that it is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. It has 7 times the mass of the Sun[5] and 5.6 times the radius of the Sun.[6] It radiates 953 times the luminosity of the Sun[6] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 19,290 K.[8] HD 137366 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 67.6% that of the Sun's ([Fe/H] = −0.17)[9] and it is estimated to be 27.7 million years old.[5] Unlike most hot stars, HD 137366 has a relatively low projected rotational velocity of only 8 km/s.[8]
