HD 109749 is a binary star system about 206 light years away in the constellation of Centaurus. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of 8.08,[2] which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The primary component has a close orbiting exoplanet companion. The system is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −13.2 km/s.[2]

The primary component, HD 109749 A, is a G-type subgiant star with a spectral type of G3IV,[3] indicating it is an evolved star with a luminosity higher than that of a main sequence star. It has a mass of 1.14 M and a radius of 1.21 R. The star is shining with a luminosity of 1.55 L and has an effective temperature of 5,860 K. Evolutionary models estimate an age of 4.1 billion years.[6] HD 109749 A is chromospherically inactive and has a high metallicity, with an iron abundance 178% of Sun's.[3]

The secondary, HD 109749 B, is a K-type main sequence star with an apparent magnitude of 10.3.[8] It has a mass of about 0.78 M and is located at a separation of 8.4 arcseconds, which corresponds to a projected separation of 490 AU.[5] This star has the same proper motion as the primary and seems to be at the same distance, confirming they form a physical binary system.[9]
