HD 196737, also designated as HR 7893, is a solitary orange hued star [17] located in the southern constellation Microscopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.47, [2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 241 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, [1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 14.2  km/s . [6] At its current distance, HD 196737's brightness is diminished by 0.14 magnitudes due to interstellar dust. [18] It has an absolute magnitude of 1.17. [7]

This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III. [4] HD 196737 is estimated to be 3.4 billion years old based on asteroseismologic measurements, [8] enough for it to cool and expand onto the red giant branch; it is now fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. [3] It has 1.4 time the mass of the Sun [8] and an enlarged radius of 11.5  R☉. [9] It radiates 43.7 times the luminosity of the Sun [10] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,681  K . [12] HD 196737 has a solar metallicity — what astronomers dub chemical elements heavier than helium. The star has a projected rotational velocity too low to be measured accurately. [14]
