HD 168871 (HIP 90223; 9 G. Telescopii) is a star located in the southern constellation Telescopium.
The object is located relatively close at a distance of 89.2 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is drifting away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 35.1 km/s.
[7] It has a relatively high proper motion across the celestial sphere,[17] moving at a rate of 153.34 mas/yr.
Gray et al. (2006) gives a classification of G0- V,[4] indicating that it is a slightly hotter main sequence star.
[9] It radiates 1.66 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,994 K,[11] giving it a whitish-yellow hue when viewed in the night sky.
