This is an asymptotic giant branch star[4] with a stellar classification of M1 III.[5] In its current state, the object is fusing hydrogen and helium shells around an inert carbon core. HR 7771 has 177% the mass of the Sun[7] but has expanded to an enlarged radius of 57.5 R.[8] It radiates at 592 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,884 K,[8] giving a red hue. HD 193373 has an iron abundance 120% that of the Sun, making it slightly metal enriched.[10]
