HD 168592, also designated as HR 6862 or rarely 7 G. Coronae Australis, is a solitary star[14] located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.07. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place it at a distance of 490 light years[1] and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 18 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 168592's brightness is diminished by 0.38 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[15] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.76.[6]
HD 168592 has a stellar classification of K4/5 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved K-type star with the characteristics of a K4 and K5 giant star. It has a comparable mass to the Sun[7] but the star has expanded to 43.6 times the Sun's radius.[8] It radiates 666 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,148 K.[9] HD 168592 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance 26% below solar levels.[10] The star spins slowly, as is common for giant stars, with a projected rotational velocity of 1.9 km/s.[11]
