HD 33519, also known as HR 1682, is a probable spectroscopic binary[11] located in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. It is one of the stars near the limit of naked eye visibility, having an apparent magnitude of 6.28.[2] The system is relatively far at a distance of 940 light years[1] but is approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −2.5 km/s.[5] However, this value is poorly constrained.

The visible component has a stellar classification of K5/M0 III,[3] indicating an evolved red giant with the characteristics of a K5 and M0 giant star. At present it has 4.34 times the mass of the Sun[7] but has expanded to 45.4 times its girth.[8] It shines with a luminosity of 465 L[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,118 K,[8] giving it an orange-red hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 33519's metallicity, what astronomers dub as elements heavier than helium, is around solar level.[10] Like most giants, it spins slowly, with its projected rotational velocity being lower than km/s.[11]

There is an 11th magnitude optical companion located 50.2 away along a position angle of 110°.[14] It has no relation to the system, having a drastically different proper motion.[14]
