R Horologii is a red giant star approximately 760 light-years away in the southern constellation of Horologium.^[13] It is a Mira variable with a period of 404.83 days,^[14] ranging from apparent magnitude 4.7 to 14.3—one of the largest ranges in brightness known of stars in the night sky visible to the unaided eye.^[2] The star is losing mass at the rate of 5.9×10⁻⁷ M_☉·y⁻¹.^[10]

Notes

^ Applying the Stefan–Boltzmann law with a nominal solar effective temperature of 5,772 K:
${\sqrt {{\biggl (}{\frac {5,772}{2,200}}{\biggr )}^{4}\cdot 8,500}}=634.62\ R_{\odot }$ .
