HD 175740 is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Lyra.[1] This object has an orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.46.[1] It is located at a distance of approximately 266 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[2] and has an absolute magnitude of 0.89.[1] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −9.5 km/s, and is predicted to come as close as Script error: No such module "convert". in around 8 million years.[4]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K0III,[3] having evolved off the main sequence after the supply of hydrogen at its core was exhausted. It is an estimated 4.78[5] billion years old with 1.39[5] times the mass of the Sun, although Bailer-Jones et al. (2018) give a higher estimate of 2.8[4] times the Sun's mass. The elemental composition of this star has made it the first giant to be a candidate solar sibling, suggesting it may have been born in the same star cluster as the Sun.[9] It has expanded to ten[2] times the girth of the Sun and is radiating 50[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,811 K.[2]

HD 175740 has a magnitude 12.6 visual companion, located at an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val". along a position angle (PA) of 300°, as of 2013. A magnitude 11.5 companion lies at a separation of Script error: No such module "val". along a PA of 39°, as of 2014. Both were discovered by American astronomer G. W. Hough in 1887.[10]
