18 Sextantis, or simply 18 Sex, is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Sextans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.62. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 558 light-years and it is slowly receding with a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of approximately 0.2 km/s. At its current distance, 18 Sex's brightness is diminished with an interstellar extinction of two-tenths of a magnitude
