Pi Piscis Austrini, Latinized from π Piscis Austrini, is spectroscopic binary in the constellation Piscis Austrinus, with a well-determined period of 178.3177 days and an apparent magnitude of +5.12.[6] It is approximately 93 light years from Earth.

The temperatures are 7400 Kelvin for Pi PsA A and 6900 for Pi PsA B, as well as their estimated brightness ratio, and get luminosities of 3.4 and 2.6 times that of the Sun.[6]

Pi Piscis Austrini is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 16.3 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 24,100 and 37,300 light years from the center of the Galaxy.[7]
