Low metallicity indicates that this G8V star (with a K or M companion) is an “old disk” star with a poor shot at having planets. Still, “low” in this case means about 45% of Sol’s, so they’re not out of the question. 41 Arae is about 29 light years from us.
ETA: Mamajek and Hildebrand give an age range of 5.5 to 6.3 billion years. So 41 Arae may not be “old disk” at all.
