Xi Hydrae (ξ Hya, ξ Hydrae) is a fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Hydra. The star is situated 130 light-years from Earth and has a radius about 10 times that of the Sun. It is radiating 58 times as much luminosity as the Sun.^[2] The star is now approaching the end of its life, and has expanded its outer envelope to become a red giant star.

The star Xi Hya was particularly interesting in the field of asteroseismology when an international group of astronomers discovered that it behaves like a giant sub-ultra-bass musical instrument.^[3]

Xi Hydrae was a latter designation of 19 Crateris.^[4]

Xi Hydrae.
