RV Caeli, also known as HD 28552, is a solitary, red hued variable star located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.4,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 1,340 light years based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3,[1] but is rapidly receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 98km/s.[7]

Hipparcos has found it to vary between its photometric values of 6.44 and 6.56,[6] which roughly corresponds with the magnitude as seen with the naked eye. It was first suspected of variability in 1970,[17] and a 1982 survey also identified suspected variations. However, it could not confirm it was a variable star..[18] It was confirmed as a variable star in 1999 on the basis of the Hipparcos photometry and given the variable star designation RV Caeli.[19]
RV Caeli is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M1 III.[4] It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[3] generating energy via hydrogen and helium shell fusion around an inert carbon core. It has 114% the mass of the Sun[10] but has expanded to over 100 times its girth.[11] It radiates 976 times the luminosity of the Sun[12] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,843K.[13] RV Caeli is metal deficient, having an iron abundance 70% that of the Sun.
