Delta Coronae Australis is a single[7] star located in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.57.[2] The star is located about 174 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +21 km/s.[1]
This object is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K1III.[4] After exhausting the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star expanded off the main sequence and now has 11[1] times the radius of the Sun. It is a red clump giant,[3][5] which indicates it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through core helium fusion. The star is 2.8[3] billion years old with 1.5[3] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 55[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,654 K.[1]
