Upsilon Piscis Austrini (υ Piscis Austrini) is a solitary,[9] orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.98.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.69 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the star is located 420 light-years from the Sun.

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] It is catalogued as a member of the Wolf 630 moving group.[10] Upsilon Piscis Austrini is moving through the galaxy at a speed of 36.4 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected galactic orbit carries it between 17,700 and 25,400 light-years from the center of the galaxy.[11][unreliable source?]
