Chi Octantis, Latinized from χ Octantis, is a solitary star[14] located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.28.[2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of 261 light years based on Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity 33.6 km/s.[5] At its current distance, Chi Octantis' brightness is diminished by 0.24 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[15] It has an absolute magnitude of +0.81.[6]

Chi Octantis is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K3 III.[3] It has 125% the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 14.45 R☉ due to its evolved state.[7] It radiates 73.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,266 K.[7] Chi Octantis is metal enriched with an iron abundance 126% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = +0.10)[10] and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity less than 1 km/s−1.[11]
