ι2 Muscae, Latinised as Iota2 Muscae, is a blue-white-hued star in the southern constellation Musca, near the constellation's southern border with Chamaeleon. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.62,[2] which is just below the normal limit of stellar brightness visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located around 492 light-years (151 parsecs) from the Sun. It is a member of the Hyades Stream, but is not part of the Hyades or Praesepe open clusters.[9]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9V. It has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 116 km/s. The star has 2.8 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 71 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 10,641 K.
