HD 175640 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.20,[1] which is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye under suitable seeing conditions. The star is located at a distance of approximately 516 light years as determined through parallax measurements.[2] At that distance, the star's color is modified by an extinction of 0.36 magnitude due to interstellar dust.[8] It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of roughly −26 km/s.[1]

This is classified as a mercury-manganese star, which is a late B-type chemically peculiar star of type CP3. A distinctive feature of this class of stars is an apparent extreme overabundance of the elements mercury and manganese.[9] It has a low longitudinal magnetic field strength of −0.6±2.2 G.[6] This is a particularly stable star, showing no signs of pulsation.[4] As with other HgMn stars, it is spinning slowly, showing a projected rotational velocity of 1.6 km/s.[6]

In 2007, some evidence was found that this may be a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system. In particular, shifts in radial velocity were observed in the range of 7 to −7 km/s.[10]
