HR 4699 is a single[11] star in the southern constellation of Corvus. It is orange in hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.14.[2] This star is located at a distance of approximately 201 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +14 km/s, after come to within 45.1 light-years some four million years ago.[2]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded to almost ten[6] times the Sun's radius. It is nearly two[5] billion years old with 1.76 times the mass of the Sun.[5] The star is radiating 43 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,707 K.[6]
