HD 182509, also designated as HR 7370, is an orange hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.69,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 635 light years.[1] It has a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s,[6] indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.

HD 182509 has a stellar classification of K4 III,[4] indicating that it is a red giant. Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models place it on the red giant branch.[3] It has 1.12 times the mass of the Sun[8] but has expanded to 32.6 times its girth.[9] It shines with a luminosity of 329 L[10] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,316 K.[9] HD 182509 iron abundance is 95% that of the Sun, placing it at solar metallicity.[8] Like most giants, it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of <1 km/s.[11]

HD 182466 is a high proper motion star located 76.1 away along a position angle of 236°.[14] Eggleton and Tokovonin (2008) list the pair as a binary star.[15] However, its parallax and proper motion indicate that it is instead a foreground object.[16] Components C and D are instead faint optical background objects, while the E component is probably non-existent.[14]
