HD 193721 (HR 7785) is an astrometric binary [14] in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.77, [2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the system 760 light years [1] away from the Solar System and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity 8.6 km/s . [5]
HD 193721 has a stellar classification of G6/8 II [3] — intermediate between a G6 and 8 bright giant. At present it has 3.49 times the mass of the Sun, [7] but has expanded to 24.4 times its girth. [8] It shines with a luminosity of 300 L☉ [9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,953 K , [8] giving a yellow hue. HD 193721 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 71% that of the Sun [10] and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of 2.7 km/s . [11]
The system has an companion designated CPD −81°900. The object has a spectral classification of F8 [15] and is located 25.5″ along a position angle of 0° (as of 1998). [16] CPD −81°900 is a foreground object, having a higher parallax [17] and different proper motion. [16]
