κ Lyrae, Latinized as Kappa Lyrae, is a solitary[10] star in the northern constellation of Lyra, near the constellation border with Hercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.33.[2] This object is located approximately 252 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is moving closer with a radial velocity of −24 km/s.[6]

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K2-IIIabCN0.5,[3] with the suffix notation indicating a mild underabundance of cyanogen. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has cooled and expanded. It now has 18[6] times the Sun's girth and is radiating 127[7] times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 4,638 K.[8] κ Lyrae is a red clump giant, which means it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through core helium fusion.[11] It is a suspected small amplitude variable star.[5]
