HD 28454, also known as HR 1418, is a solitary, yellowish-white hued star located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.1, making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. This star is located relatively close at a distance of about 107 light years based on parallax measurements of Gaia DR3 but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 15 km/s.

HD 28454 is an ordinary F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F5.5 V. It has 1.21 times the mass of the Sun and 1.42 times its radius. It radiates 3.26 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,468 K. HD 28454 is estimated to be 1.61 billion years, and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 8 km/s. The star is metal deficient, having an iron abundance 56% that of the Sun's.
