Beta Coronae Australis (Beta CrA), Latinized from β Coronae Australis, is a solitary star[15] located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.10.[2] The star is located around 470 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 2.7 km/s.[5] At its current distance, Beta CrA's brightness is diminished by 0.29 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[16]
Beta CrA has a stellar classification of K0 II/III CN1.5,[3] indicating that it is an evolved K-type star with the blended luminosity class of a bright giant and a regular giant star. The suffix CN1.5 indicates that the object has an anamolous overabundance of cyano radicals in its spectrum, making it a CN star. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 39 times the Sun's girth.[9] It has 5.17 times the mass of the Sun shines with a luminosity 614 times that of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at a surface temperature of 4,575 K.[11] Beta CrA is metal enriched (174% solar iron abundance[10]) and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 6.2 km/s.[12]
