EQ Virginis is a single[10] variable star in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It has a baseline visual apparent magnitude of 9.36,[3] but is a flare star that undergoes sporadic bursts of brightening. The star is located at a distance of 67 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −23 km/s.[2] It is a member of the IC 2391 moving group[11] of stars, which is between 30 and 50 million years old.[8]

This is an orange-hued K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K5Ve,[3] where the 'e' suffix indicates emission lines in the spectrum. It is a young, rapidly rotating star with a mean magnetic field strength of Script error: No such module "val"..[12] The star is classified as an eruptive variable of the UV Ceti type and a BY Draconis variable.[4] It shows strong chromospheric activity with extensive star spots that, on average, cover ~24% of the surface.[7] The star displays a strong X-ray emission.[12]
