[2] The star is located around 470 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 2.7 km/s.

[5] At its current distance, Beta CrA's brightness is diminished by 0.29 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.

The suffix CN1.5 indicates that the object has an anamolous overabundance of cyano radicals in its spectrum, making it a CN star.

Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 39 times the Sun's girth.

[9] It has 5.17 times the mass of the Sun shines with a luminosity 614 times that of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at a surface temperature of 4,575 K.[11] Beta CrA is metal enriched (174% solar iron abundance[10]) and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 6.2 km/s.
