HD 173791 (HR 7065) is a solitary[14] yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.80,[2] allowing it to be viewed with the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 364 light years ,[1] and it is currently receding from the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of 9.7 km/s.[6]

This is a red giant with a stellar classification of G8 III.[4] It is currently on the cool end of the horizontal branch, fusing helium at its core.[3] At present it has 1.31 times the mass of the Sun[8] but has expanded to 10.3 times its girth.[9] It radiates at 63.6 L☉[10] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,093 K.[9] HD 173791 is metal deficient–with a metallicity only 37% that of the Sun;[3] it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.7 km/s.[3]
