HD 179433, also known as HR 7281 or rarely 49 G. Coronae Australis, is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a yellow-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.91.[2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 329 light-years,[1] and it is currently drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −35.1 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 179433's brightness is diminished by interstellar extinction of 0.22 magnitudes[11] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.11.[6]

HD 179433 has a stellar classification of G8 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved red giant. It has 2.45 times the mass of the Sun[7] but at the age of 727 million years,[9] it has expanded to 8.26 times the Sun's radius.[7] It radiates 43.3 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,120 K.[7] HD 197433 has a near solar metallicity at [Fe/H]= −0.0004[7] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.9 km/s.[8]
