R Arae is an Algol-type eclipsing binary in the constellation Ara. Located approximately 298 parsecs (970 ly) distant, it normally shines at magnitude 6.17, but during eclipses can fall as low as magnitude 7.32.[3] It has been suggested by multiple studies that mass transfer is occurring between the two stars of this system,[7][8] and the period of eclipses seems to be increasing over time.[8] The primary is a blue-white main sequence star of spectral type B5V that is 5 times as massive as the Sun, while the secondary is a yellow-white star of spectral type F1IV that is 1.5 times as massive as the Sun. Stellar material is being stripped off the secondary and accreting on the primary.[5]
R Arae has an 8th-magnitude companion 3″ away.[5] The companion star is at a similar distance.[9]
