HD 187086, also known as HR 7537, is a probable astrometric binary[15] (87% chance[16]) located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an average apparent magnitude of 5.9, making it faintly visible to the naked eye. The star is located relatively far at a distance of 1,020 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[2] but is rapidly drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −64 km/s.[7] At its current distance, HD 187086's brightness is diminished by 0.27 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[17] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.8.[8]

The primary has a stellar classification of M1 III,[5] indicating that it is a red giant. It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch, fusing hydrogen and helium shells around an inert carbon core. It has 1.76 times the mass of the Sun[9] but it has expanded to 111 times the solar radius.[10] It radiates 1,031 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,821 K,[12] giving it a red hue. HD 187086 is particularly metal enriched ([Fe/H] = +0.24).[2]

HD 187086 fluctuates between 5.95 and 6.07[3] and its variability was first noticed by P.M. Corben in 1971 after being listed as an ordinary M-type giant a year prior.[6][18] In 2002, Chris Koen and Laurent Eyer reported that the Hipparcos data shows periodic fluctuations with an amplitude of 0.023 magnitudes, and a period of 7.6805 days.[19] As of 2004 however, it is not confirmed to be variable.[20]
