Kappa Trianguli Australis (κ Trianguli Australis) is a star in the constellation Triangulum Australe.
Kappa Trianguli Australis is a yellow G-type supergiant with an apparent magnitude of +5.08. It is around 1,200 light years from Earth.
It is not generally listed as a variable star but Hipparcos photometry showed small amplitude brightness changes. The dominant period was around 600 days and the amplitude less than a hundredth of a magnitude.[13]
