HD 213402 (HR 8577; 73 G. Octantis) is a solitary star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.14,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 920 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12.8 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 213402's brightness is diminshed by 0.45 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[15] and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.15.[6]

HD 213402 has a stellar classification of K1 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant. It has a comparable mass to the Sun[7] but it has expanded to 44.5 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates 471 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,481 K,[11] giving it the typical orange hue of a K-type star. Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models place it on the red giant branch and yield a larger radius of 50.9 R☉ and a higher luminosity of 825 L☉.[1] HD 213402 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.07 or 85% of the Sun's abundance.[7] Like many giant stars it rotates slowly, but its projected rotational velocity is too low to be measured accurately.[12]
