HD 32309 is a single[8] star in the southern constellation of Lepus. It has a blue-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.91.[2] The distance to this object is 197 light years based on parallax.[1] It is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +24 km/s.[2] This is a member of the Columba association of co-moving stars.[9]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9V.[4] It is around 124[5] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of about 300 km/s.[5][3] Mass estimates range from 2.56[3] to 3.24[5] times the mass of the Sun and it has about 3.1[6] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 46.5[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,450 K.[5]
