HD 17925 (32 G. Eridani) is a solitary K-type main sequence star located thirty-four light-years away, in the constellation Eridanus. It is a likely member of the Local Association of nearby, co-moving stars.[3]

An infrared excess has been detected around this star, most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 17.9 AU. The temperature of this dust is 52 K.[5]
