The New Hipparcos Reduction calculates a parallax of 21.18±6.53 mas,[13] yielding a distance of 154±47 light years, somewhat poorly constrained.
New analysis from the Gaia spacecraft find that it has a physical relation to κ2 Coronae Australis.
[15] Kappa1 CrA has a stellar classification of A0 IV,[3] indicating that it is a slightly evolved A-type star.
At present it has 2.8 times the mass of the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius of 3.79 R☉.
[8] With an age of about four million years, Kappa1 CrA is modelled to be a young star only about 10% of the way through its main sequence life.
