We report the results of high-resolution ( R \sim 80 , 000 ) spectroscopic observations of the emission-line object HD 85567 , which has been classified as a FS CMa type object or a pre-main-sequence star .
The main goal is to put more constraints on the object ’ s fundamental parameters as well as on its nature and evolutionary state .
Absorption lines in the spectrum of HD 85567 were found similar to those of mid B–type dwarfs and correspond to the following fundamental parameters : T _ { eff } = 15000 \pm 500 K , v \sin i = 31 \pm 3 km s ^ { -1 } , \log g \sim 4.0 .
The interstellar extinction , A _ { V } = 0.50 \pm 0.02 mag , was measured using the strengths of some diffuse interstellar bands .
We also obtained UBV ( RI ) _ { c } images of a 10 \arcmin \times 10 \arcmin region around the object .
Photometry of projectionally close stars was used to derive an interstellar extinction law in this direction and resulted in a distance of 1300 \pm 100 pc to the object and a luminosity of \log L/L _ { \odot } = 3.3 \pm 0.2 .
We found no significant radial velocity variations of the absorption lines in the spectra of HD 85567 obtained during two month-long periods of time in 2012 and 2015 .
Our analysis of the spectroscopic and photometric data available for the star led us to a conclusion that it can not be a pre-main-sequence Herbig Ae/Be star .
We argue that the circumstellar gas and dust were produced during the object ’ s evolution as most likely a binary system , which contains an undetected secondary component and is unlikely to be a merger product .
