HD 83953 (I Hydrae) is a single,^[9] blue-white hued star in the equatorial constellationofHydra. It is visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.76.^[2] Based upon an annual parallax shiftof6.6 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 spectrumbyMount 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]
