'''HD 122430''' is single [[star]]<ref name=Eggleton2008/> in the [[celestial equator|equatorial]] [[constellation]] of [[Hydra (constellation)|Hydra]]. It has an orange hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an [[apparent visual magnitude]] of 5.47.<ref name=Anderson2012/> The star is located at a distance of 105.6&nbsp;[[light year]]s from the [[Sun]] based on [[stellar parallax|parallax]]. It has the Bayer designation '''h Hydrae'''.<ref name = Wagman2003/>

This is an aging [[giant star]] with a [[stellar classification]] of K2–3III.<ref name=houk1979/> It has completely run out of the [[hydrogen]] [[fuel]] that keeps it stable, although it is only two billion years old,<ref name=Jofré2015/> younger than the Sun's 4.6 billion years. HD 122430 has a mass of 1.6 times and radius of 22.9 times that of the Sun.<ref name=Jofré2015/> Despite its younger age, it has slightly lower metallicity, approximately 90%. It is radiating 190<ref name=GaiaDR2/> times the [[luminosity]] of the Sun from its [[photosphere]] at an [[effective temperature]] of 4300&nbsp;K.<ref name=Jofré2015/>

A candidate [[exoplanet]] was reported orbiting the star via the [[radial velocity method]] at a conference in 2003, and designated HD 122430 b. It has an [[orbital period]] of {{Convert|344.95|days|years|2|disp=out|abbr=off}} and an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.68.<ref name="Setiawan2003"/> However, a follow-up study by Soto et al. (2015) failed to detect a signal, so it remains unconfirmed.<ref name=Soto2015/>
