HD 138289, also known as HR 5757, is a probable spectroscopic binary[12] located in the constellation Apus, the bird-of-paradise. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.18,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place the object 359 light years away[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 13.1 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 138289's brightness is diminished by 0.25 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust.[15] It has an absolute magnitude of +1.21.[7]

The visible component has a stellar classification of K2.5 IIIb CN1.5 Ba+0.5,[4] indicating that it is a red giant with an anomalous overabundance of cyano radicals in its spectrum. The IIIb luminosity class indicates that it is a lower luminosity giant star. The Ba+0.5 suffix states that it is a mild barium star, whose barium abundance might have come from a hidden white dwarf companion. HD 138289 is estimated to be 2.8 billion years old,[1] enough time for it to cool and expand to 13 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It is now on the horizontal branch,[3] fusing helium at its core. At present it has 1.59 times the mass of the Sun and radiates 52.5 times the luminosity of the Sun[10] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,672 K.[11] HD 138289 has a near solar metallicity and spins modestly with a poorly constrained projected rotational velocity of 5.2 km/s.[12]
