A detailed review of the models for the star Hydri is done by adjusting the evolutionary sequences to the most recent bolometric, spectroscopic and astrometric data. The dependence of the solution on some of the relevant modelling parameters is analysed and the degeneracy of the solution using the HR Diagram analysis discussed.
We briefly analyse how the seismic study of the star can help to clarify some of the degeneracy of the model solutions. Preliminary results on the fundamental parameters of Hydri are presented and the expected seismic behaviour of the star described.
