R Trianguli (abbreviated as R Tri) is a short-period oxygen-rich[4] Mira variable in Triangulum with a period of 266.9 days,[2] discovered by T. H. E. C. Espin in 1890.[7] It is losing about 1.1×10−7 M/yr, close to average for a short-period Mira variable.[8] While most short-period Mira variables reside in the Galactic halo, R Trianguli is a member of the thick disk, and its proper motion is fairly high for its distance.[4] Its angular diameter in the K band was measured in 2002 to be, on average, 5.22±0.30 mas, with a shape suggesting that there is an optically thin disk structure surrounding the star.[4]
