HD 186756, also known as HR 7521 or rarely 68 G. Telescopii, is a solitary orange hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.25, [2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 743 light years; [1] it is currently approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −21.2 km/s. [4] At its current distance, HD 186756's brightness is diminished by 0.34 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust [13] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.96. [5]
This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III. It has 123% the mass of the Sun [6] but it has expanded to 21.01 times the radius of the Sun. [7] The object radiates 177 times the luminosity of the Sun [8] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,747 K. [9] HD 186756 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.13 (74% solar) and it spins too slowly for its projected rotational velocity to be measured accurately. [10]
