With an average apparent magnitude of 5.97,[2] 25 Sex is barely visible to the naked eye, even under ideal conditions.
Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 345 light-years,[1] and it is currently drifting away with a heliocentric radial velocity of approximately 23 km/s.
[17] In 1993, D. A. Bohlender and colleagues measured the magnetic field of the star and found that it varied between 650 and 1,200 gauss, although with some uncertainty about the variation.
[19] 25 Sex has a stellar classification of B9pSi(CrSr),[5] indicating that it is a Bp star with abundance of silicon, chromium, and strontium in its spectrum.
[8] It radiates 45.7 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 11,500 K,[11] giving it a bluish-white hue when viewed in the night sky.
