HD 100307 is a suspected variable star in the constellation of Hydra. Its apparent magnitude is 6.16,[2] but interstellar dust makes it appear 0.346 magnitudes dimmer than it should be.[6] It is located some 340 light-years (104 parsecs) away, based on parallax.[1]

HD 100307 is a M-type red giant. It has evolved from the main sequence to a radius of 67.6 times that of the Sun. It emits 687 times as much energy as the Sun at a surface temperature of 3,598 K.[6]
