Star in the constellation of Corona Australis
HD 168592 , also designated as HR 6862 or rarely 7 G. Coronae Australis , is a solitary
star
[14] located in the southern
constellation
Corona Australis . It is faintly visible to the
naked eye as an orange-hued star with an
apparent magnitude of 5.07.
Gaia DR3
parallax measurements place it at a distance of 490
light years
[1] and is currently receding with a heliocentric
radial velocity of 18
km/s .
[5] At its current distance, HD 168592's brightness is diminished by 0.38
magnitudes due to
interstellar dust .
[15] It has an
absolute magnitude of −0.76.
[6]
HD 168592 has a
stellar classification of K4/5 III,
[3] indicating that it is an evolved
K-type star with the characteristics of a K4 and K5
giant star . It has a comparable
mass to the
Sun
[7] but the star has expanded to 43.6 times the
Sun's radius .
[8] It radiates 666 times the
luminosity of the Sun
[1] from its enlarged
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 4,148
K .
[9] HD 168592 is slightly metal deficient with an
iron abundance 26% below solar levels.
[10] The star spins slowly, as is common for giant stars, with a
projected rotational velocity of 1.9
km/s .
