17 Monocerotis is a single[9] star located around 490[1] light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.77.[2] The star is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +46 km/s.[4]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] As a consequence of having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 25[1] times the radius of the Sun. It is radiating around 538[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,345 K.[7]
