HD 93833 (HR 4233; 73 G. Sextantis) is a solitary star located in the equatorial constellation Sextans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.84.[2] Gaia DR2 parallax measurements imply a distance of 345 light-years[1] and it receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 40.3 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 93833's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.18 magnitudes[14] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.76.[7]

HD 93833 has a stellar classification of K0 III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant star that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. It is currently a red clump star that is on the horizontal branch—fusing helium at its core.[3] It has 1.4 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 5.5 billion years,[8] it has expanded to 10.7 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 60.4 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,675 K.[10] HD 93833 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.11 or 77.6% of the Sun's abundance.[11]
