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. [11]
