HD 102350 is a single[9] star in the constellation Centaurus. It has a yellow hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.11.[2] The distance to this star is approximately 390 light years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −3 km/s.[2] It has an absolute magnitude of −1.51.[6]

This is an aging bright giant star with a stellar classification of G0II.[3] It is a candidate Cepheid variable,[5] but Hipparcos photometry found its brightness to be constant.[10] The star has expanded to 22[7] times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 283[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,051 K.[7] It has a magnitude 13.0 visual companion at an angular separation of 24.3 along a position angle of 313° relative to the brighter component, as of 2000.[11]

HD 102350 is listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog as having a 13th magnitude companion about 25 away,[12] but it is a distant background object unrelated to HD 102350.[13][9]
