HD 85709 (HR 3915; 14 G. Sextantis; NSV 18292) is a solitary star[15] located in the equatorial constellation Sextans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a red-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.95.[2] The object is located relatively far at a distance of 1,100 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements but it is slowly drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −0.66 km/s.[8] At its current distance, HD 85709's brightness is diminished with an interstellar extinction of two-tenths of a magnitude[16] and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.30.[9]

HD 85709 has a stellar classification of M2.5 III,[5] indicating that it is an evolved M-type giant star. It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[4] the point where it is generating energy via the fusion of hydrogen and helium shells around an inert carbon core. Having expanded to 133 times the radius of the Sun,[10] it now radiates 1,918 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,622 K.[12] HD 85709 is metal enriched with an iron abundance 1.58 times that of the Sun's.[13]

In 1991, astronomer V.G. Kornilov and colleagues observed that HD 85709 fluctuated between magnitudes 5.89 and 5.95 in optical light during a photometry survey.[3] As of 2004 however, its variability has not been confirmed.[17]
