3 Piscis Austrini, also known as HD 201901 or simply 3 PsA, is an astrometric binary[13] (100% chance[14]) located in the southern constellation Microscopium. It was once part of Piscis Austrinus, the southern fish. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.39,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 404 light years[1] and it is currently approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −46.2 km/s.[5] At its current distance, 3 PsA's brightness is diminished by 0.12 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust[15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.19.[6]

The visible component is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K3 III.[3] The interferometry-measured angular diameter of the star, after correcting for limb darkening, is 2.03±0.04 mas,[16] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 20 times the radius of the Sun.[17] However, its actual empirical radius is 31.3 R☉.[8] It has 1.58 times the mass of the Sun[7] and is radiating 184 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,225 K.[10] 3 PsA is metal deficent with an iron abundance 68% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.17)[9] and it spins too slowly for its projected rotational velocity to be measured accurately.[11] It is estimated to be 2.59 billion years old based on Gaia DR3 models.[1]
