Delta Hydri, Latinized from δ Hydri, is a single,[7] white-hued star in the southern constellation of Hydrus. It is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.09.[2] The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.35 mas,[1] is about 140 light years. It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.[4]

This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V[3] It is about 209 million years old and has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 162 km/s.[6] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 7% larger than the polar radius.[8] The star has 2.25 times the mass of the Sun and 2.3 times the Sun's radius.[5] It is radiating 39.5[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 9.880.[6] Delta Hydri has been checked for an infrared excess, but none was found.[7]
