A K0V star with a companion, 41.74 light years from us, in Draco. Between 5.3 and 5.9 billion years old. Metallicity appears to be around a third of Sol’s.
26 Draconis
A triple star system 46 light years away, with the C component orbiting around the combined A-B pair. A is an F9V dwarf with a K3V companion; the two come as close to each other as 18 AU and draw away as far as 25. C is an M dwarf over 10,000 AU away. Metallicity appears to be around 65% of Sol’s and the system is between 8 and 11 billion years old. Gliese 675 is 6 light years away.
