HD 218108, also known as HR 8786, is a solitary, white hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.11,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the object is estimated to be 247 light years away.[1] It appears to be approaching the Solar System with a fairly constrained radial velocity of −7 km/s.[5] Paunzen et al. (2001) lists it as a λ Boötis star with a weak magnesium line.[16]

HD 218108 has a stellar classification of A6 Vn,[3] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star with broad or nebulous absorption lines due to rapid rotation. In 1966, David Stanley Evans gave it a slightly cooler class of A7 Vn.[17] However, Houk and Cowley (1975) give it a classification of A3/4 V, a main sequence star with the characteristics of an A3 and A4 star.[18] Paunzen et al. (2001) gives it a class of A3 V, indicating that it is instead an ordinary A-type main-sequence star.[16]

Nevertheless, it has 1.8 times the mass of the Sun[7] and twice its radius.[8] It radiates 15.24 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,213 K. It is estimated to be 249 million years old[7] and is currently spinning with a high projected rotational velocity of 149 km/s.[13] A solar metallicity was calculated for HD 218108.[12]
