It is visible to the naked eye as a bluish-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.59.

[5] At its current distance, Kappa2 CrA's brightness is diminished by 0.45 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.

[14] This is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9Vnn, with the nn meaning extremely nebulous absorption lines, usually due to rapid rotation.

[citation needed] Kappa2 CrA forms a binary star with Kappa1 Coronae Australis, also known as HR 6952.

[16] The two were once thought to be an optical pair due to the large difference in their parallaxes but are now considered to be physical based on Gaia measurements.
