HR 511 (also designated Gliese 75 among others) is an orange dwarf of spectral type K0V in the constellation Cassiopeia. The star is relatively close, 32.5 light years from the Sun.

This star is estimated to be about the same age as the sun. It has not been identified as a member of any moving star groups. This star has displayed unusual emissions of Ca II and is much more x-ray luminous than the Sun. It is considered a relatively active star.[3] Based on an iron abundance of [-0.02], the metallicity of this star appears to be similar to that of the Sun.[4]
