Summary
HD 83953 (I Hydrae) is a single,[9] blue-white hued star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It is visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.76.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.6 mas,[1] the distance to this star is estimated as 500 light years. It is moving further from Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +16 km/s.[4]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B5 V.[3] It has been known to be a Be star since 1926, when an Hβ emission line was discovered in the stellar spectrum by Mount Wilson Observatory.[10] This energy is coming from a circumstellar envelope of heated gas that has been expelled from the central star and formed a thin orbiting disk.[11] HD 83953 is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 315 km/s, giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 18% larger than the polar radius.[7]
HD 83953 has 4.6[5] times the mass of the Sun and 4.0[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 708[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,000 K.[6]
