3 Corvi is a single[9] star in the southern constellation of Corvus, located 192 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.45.[2] This object is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +14 km/s.[5]

This is an A-type main-sequence star[3] with a stellar classification of A1 V.[4] It has 2.14[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.87[7] times the Sun's radius. The star is around 900 million years old with a high rate of rotation, showing a projected rotational velocity of 130 km/s.[5] It is radiating ten[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,671 K.[6] An infrared excess has been detected, suggesting that a debris disk with a temperature of 150 K is orbiting 14.7 AU from the host star.[7]

It was designated Theta Corvi by Johann Elert Bode in his 1801 Uranographia, but it is now no longer used.[10]
