HD 179886 (HR 7289) is a binary star[3] located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.37,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. The system is situated at a distance of 700 light years[1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 6.3 km/s.[6]

As of 2018, the two stars have a separation of 0.4 arcseconds along a position angle of 205°[12]

The brighter component has a stellar classification of K3 III, indicating that the object is an ageing K-type giant. Models show it to be on the red giant branch,[1] a stage of stellar evolution where the star is fusing hydrogen in a shell around an inert core of helium. It has an angular diameter of 1.95±0.03,[13] yielding a diameter 37 times that of the Sun[9] at its estimated distance. At present it has 111% the mass of the Sun[8] and radiates at 365 L☉[10] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,622 K,[10] giving it an orange glow. HD 179886A has a metallicity 141% that of the Sun[8] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.4 km/s.[11]
