R Cassiopeiae is a variable star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is located approximately 574 light years distant from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −23 km/s.[5] This is a pulsating Mira-type variable star with a brightness varies from magnitude +4.4 down to +13.5 with a period of 433.6 days.[3] At its maximum, R Cassiopeiae is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star.

This aging red giant star has a stellar classification that varies from M6e to M10e,[3] where the 'e' suffix indicates emission features in the spectrum. Currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[9] it has 59%[7] of the mass of the Sun with an oxygen rich chemical abundance.[10] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 263[7] times the Sun's radius. On average, the star is radiating 3,837[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere with an effective temperature ranging around 2,812 K.[7] It is losing mass at the rate of 1.3×10−6 M☉/yr−1[6] and is surrounded by a dusty circumstellar shell that extends out to 2.8′.[10]
