HD 143699 is a single[7] star in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.90.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.2 mas,[1] it is located around 350 light years away. It is most likely (90%[8] chance) a member of the Upper Centaurus–Lupus[9] subgroup of the Sco OB2 moving group.

This star has a stellar classification of B5/7 III/IV,[3] suggesting it is an evolving star that is entering the giant stage. However, according to Zorec and Royer (2012) it is only 56% of the way through its main sequence lifespan.[4] It is a chemically peculiar magnetic B star,[10] showing an averaged quadratic field strength of (167.2±140.4)×10−3 T.[11] Helium-weak, it displays an underabundance of helium in its spectrum.[12] Radio emissions have been detected from this source.[10]

HD 143699 has 4.3[4] times the mass of the Sun and 4.4[5] times the Sun's radius. It has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 123 km/s.[4] The star is radiating 438[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,521 K.[4]
