HR 6384 is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Ara, the Altar. The system is faintly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 6.153,[1] and it is located at a distance of approximately 1,300 light-years (400 parsecs) from the Sun.[2] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of around −34 km/s.[5]

The system appears to be a close, interacting binary with a hot secondary component of class A or hotter.[7] It forms a suspected ellipsoidal variable[4] with a period of 80 days and an amplitude variation of 0.08 in magnitude.[8] The primary component is an aging red giant/bright giant with a stellar classification of M1/M2II/III,[3] currently on the asymptotic giant branch.[9] With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, it has expanded to 160 times the girth of the Sun. It is radiating 3,562 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,562 K.[2]
