Xi Octantis, Latinized from ξ Octantis, is a solitary[17] variable star in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of about 5.3, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye; however, this varies slightly. Located 514 light years away, the object is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 22 km/s.

Xi Octantis has a stellar classification of B6 V,[4] indicating that it is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star. Hintler et al. gives it a luminosity class IV (subgiant)[19] while Houk and Cowley gives a classification intermediate between a B5 and B7 dwarf.[5] Nevertheless, it has 4 times the mass of the Sun[3] and is 3 times larger.[11] It shines with a luminosity of 360 L☉[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,050 K,[12] giving it a whitish blue glow. Xi Octantis is 46 million years old[14] – 64.8% through its short main sequence lifetime[12] – and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 30 km/s.[13]

When the Hipparcos catalogue was released in 1997, Xi Octantis was found to vary in magnitude[20] — ranging from 5.32 to 5.36 based on data from the International Variable Star Index.[2] It has since been classified as a Slowly pulsating B-dwarf with a period of 1.78 days.[2]
