HD 166114, also known as HR 6786 or rarely 2 G. Coronae Australis, is a solitary,[14] yellowish-white hued star located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.85,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 264 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] and it is currently approaching the Solar System with a poorly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −4 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 166114's brightness is diminished by an extinction of 0.31 magnitudes[15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.28.[7]

HD 166114 has a stellar classification of either F2 V[3] or F0 Vn[4]—both indicating that it is a F-type main-sequence star. The second class also displays a presence of nebulous or broad absorption lines due to rapid rotation. Abt and Morell (1995) give a class of A8 IV,[16] instead indicating that it is a slightly evolved A-type subgiant. Gaia DR3 models it to be a rather evolved main sequence star.[1]

The object has 1.68 times the mass of the Sun[8] and a slightly enlarged radius of 3.14 R.[9] It radiates 25.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,465 K.[8] HD 166114 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance 81% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.09)[11] and it is estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.[8]
