AV Microscopii is a variable star in the southern constellation of Microscopium. It is a dim, red-hued star near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 6.28.[2] The star is located approximately 740 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax,[3] but is moving closer with a radial velocity of −23 km/s.[2] It is a member of the Milky Way's old disk population.[8]

Based upon a stellar classification of M4 III,[5] this is an aging red giant star,[5] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then expanded to around 78[3] times the Sun's radius. Earlier it had been classed as M3 II,[9] with the luminosity class of a bright giant. Samus et al. (2017) have it tentatively classified as an irregular variable of subtype LC, suggesting this is a supergiant star.[4] It is a pulsating variable with multiple periods discovered,[1] ranging in apparent visual magnitude between 6.25 and 6.35.[4][10] The star radiates 849 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,539 K.[3]
