Nu (2) Lupi and HD 84117

Nu (2) Lupi

A G2V star about 48 light years away.  Around 4 or 5 billion years old.  Only around 60% of Sol’s metallicity.  I didn’t see any information on Nu (1) Lupi, but I assume it’s another case of an unrelated star that merely appears to be very close, as seen from Earth, to the one in our neighbourhood.

HD 84117

An F8IV or V star in Antlia, about 49 light years away.  Between 2.5 and 6 billion years old.  ETA: Metallicity is about 70% that of Sol.
