HD 170384, also known as HR 6931 or rarely 11 G. Coronae Australis, is a solitary white-hued star located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.02,[2] making it barely visible to the naked eye, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 229.1 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11.4 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 170384's brightness is diminished by interstellar extinction of 0.28 magnitudes[16] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.86.[7]

This object has a stellar classification of A3 V, indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. It has double the Sun's mass[8] and 1.91 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 16.7 times the luminosity of the Sun[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,694 K.[11] HD 170384 has a near solar metallicity at [Fe/H] = −0.01 (97% solar)[12] and it is estimated to be 544 million years old,[8] having completed 45% of its main sequence lifetime.[3] Like many hot stars HD 170384 spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 127 km/s and an estimated rotation period of 19.2 hours.[13]
