Eta Antliae is a double star in the southern constellation of Antlia. Its Bayer designation is Latinized from η Antliae, and abbreviated Eta Ant or η Ant, respectively. The brighter component has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.222,[3] making it visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements of the system yield a distance estimate of 108.5 light-years (33.3 parsecs) from Earth.[7] It is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +30 km/s.[5]

The main component has a stellar classification of F1 V,[4] which indicates that it is an F-type main sequence star. This star has 55%[6] more mass than the Sun and a 72% greater radius.[7] It shines with 6.6[6] times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 7,132 K.[4] This heat gives it the yellow-white glow of an F-type star.[9] There is a faint companion star located 31 arcseconds away with an apparent magnitude of +11.3. Most likely this pair form a binary star system.[10]
