HD 204941 is a binary star about 94 light-years away. The primary main-sequence star belongs to the spectral class of K2. Its age is poorly constrained, but is likely to be younger than Sun's. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 65% of solar abundance.[5]
The imaging search for close-in stellar companions have failed to uncover any in 2011.[6] Nonetheless, the stellar companion LP 873-74 was found in 2012 by analysis of stellar proper motions.[7] The projected separation of stars was 53.62″, or over 1500 AU.
Planetary system[edit]
In 2010 one Saturn-sized HD 204941 b on an eccentric orbit was discovered utilising the radial velocity method.[5] Presence of additional gas giants in the system was ruled out in 2013.[8]
