System

edit

This binary star system, with an orbital semimajor axis 8.9 AU, has not had any circumstellar dust detected as of 2020.[8] While the habitable zones of the stars stretch from 0.55 to 0.95 AU from the stars, planetary orbits with a semimajor axis beyond 1.87 AU would become unstable due to the influence of the binary companion.[10]

Properties

edit

The star system is enriched in oxygen compared to the Solar System, having 140% of solar oxygen abundance,[11] but is depleted in heavier elements, having 75% of solar abundance of iron.[2]
