HD 75171, also known as HR 3495, is a solitary,[8] white hued star located in the southern constellation of Volans. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.02,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The object is relatively close at a distance of 191 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 10.7 km/s. Eggen (1995) lists it as a probable member of the Hyades Supercluster.

HD 75171 has a stellar classification of A4 V,[4] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. It has also been given a cooler class of A9 V.[13] It has 1.81 times the mass of the Sun[8] and a diameter of 1.84 R☉.[9] It radiates at 12 times the luminosity of the Sun[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,998 K.[10] Like most hot stars, it spins quickly with a projected rotational velocity of 96 km/s.[12] HD 75171 is estimated to be 630 million years old,[8] well around the age of the actual Hyades cluster. Zorec and Royer (2012) model it to be a dwarf star 50.4% through its main sequence lifetime,[3] and Gaia Data Release 3 models also show a star roughly halfway through its main sequence life.[1] The star has a near solar metallicity, with the iron abundance being 87% that of the Sun.[11]
