HD 76236, also designated as HR 3543 or rarely 11 G. Chamaeleontis,[12] is a solitary star[14] located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.77.[2] Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite, the object is estimated to be 612 light years away.[1] Currently, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 76236's brightness is diminished by 0.39 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[15] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.13.[6]

This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification K5 III.[3] It has 1.78 times the mass of the Sun[7] and an enlarged radius of 53.1 R.[8] It radiates 950 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,989 K.[10] HD 76236 has an iron abundance nearly twice of the Sun's,[9] making it metal enriched. It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of km/s. An infrared excess has been detected around HD 76236, indicating that the star may have a circumstellar disk.[16][17]
