HD 194612 (HR 7812) is a solitary[14] orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.9,[2] making it visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of 760 light years[1] and it has a low heliocentric radial velocity of 0.3 km/s.[6]
This is a red giant with a stellar classification of K5 III,[4] and Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models place it on the red giant branch.[3] It has double the mass of the Sun[8] and an enlarged radius of 59.9 R☉[9] due to its evolved status. It shines with a luminosity of 598 L☉[10] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,941 K.[9] Like many giants, HD 194612 has a comparatively modest projected rotational velocity, which is around 2.3 km/s.[11]
