HD 178233 is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is bright enough to be dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.53,[2] making it a sixth magnitude star. The distance to HD 178233 is 134 light years based on parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of approximately −24 km/s.[5]

The stellar classification of this star was determined to be F0III by A. Cowley and associates (1969),[3] matching an evolved F-type giant star. In contrast, D. R. Palmer and associates (1968) listed it as an A-type main-sequence star with a class of A7V.[4] It is about a half billion years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 165.0 km/s, which is giving the star an equatorial bulge that is ~24% wider than the polar radius.[10] The star has 1.5[6] times the mass and 1.8[1] times the mean radius of the Sun. It is radiating over eight times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,220 K.[1]
