HD 221287, named Poerava, is a star in the southern constellation of Tucana. It has a yellow-white hue but is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.82. This object is located at a distance of 183 light years from the Sun, as determined from its parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −22 km/s.

This object is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F7V. It is relatively young with age estimates of 763 million and 1.3 billion years, and possesses an active chromosphere. Cool spots on the surface are generating a radial-velocity signal that is modulated by the rotation period of around five days. The star is 18% larger and 20% more massive than the Sun. It is radiating 1.9 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,440 K.
