Delta Trianguli Australis (Delta TrA), Latinized from δ Trianguli Australis, is a solitary,[13] yellow-hued star in the constellation Triangulum Australe. It has an apparent magnitude of 3.84,[2] making it readily visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions, Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 606 light years (182 parsecs).[1] It has a heliocentirc radial velocity of −4.9 km/s,[5] indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.

Delta TrA has a stellar classification of G2 Ib-IIa[3] — an evolved G-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a low luminosity supergiant and a bright giant. At present it has 6.5 times the mass of the Sun[7] and has an enlarged radius of 53.6 R☉.[8] It radiates at 1,210 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,705 K.[8] Delta TrA has an iron abundance 89% that of the Sun,[10] placing it around solar metallicity. It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 8.2 km/s, which is high for stars of this type.[11]
