HD 166724 is a star in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +9.33.[2] The star is located at a distance of 148 light-years (45 parsecs) from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −18 km/s.[1] It is predicted to come as close as 97.0 light-years in around 1.2 million years from now.[2] The star has an absolute magnitude of 6.20.[2]
The stellar classification of HD 166724 is K0IV/V,[3] showing blended features of a K-type main-sequence star with a more evolved subgiant star. It is slightly active with chromospheric activity being demonstrated by an emission peak in the Ca II K absorption line.[4] The age of the star is poorly constrained, but it is spinning slowly with a period of around 30 days.[4] It has 81% of the mass of the Sun and 80%[4] of the Sun's girth. The star is radiating 39%[5] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,101 K.[4]
