μ Coronae Australis, Latinized as Mu Coronae Australis, is a solitary[7] star located in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is a yellow-hued star and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.217.[2] Parallax measurements put it at a distance of approximately 387 light-years from the Sun, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −16 km/s.[1] It has an absolute magnitude of -0.37.[4]

This object is an aging G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G5-6III.[3] It is roughly 361 million years old with 3.065 times the mass of the Sun.[4] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has cooled and expanded away from the main sequence. At present it has 11[1] times the girth of the Sun. The star is radiating 111[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,557 K.[1]
