HD 142415 is a single [6] star in the southern constellation of Norma, positioned next to the southern constellation border with Triangulum Australe and less than a degree to the west of NGC 6025. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.33, [2] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this star is 116 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s. [2] It is a candidate member of the NGC 1901 open cluster of stars. [8]
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G1V. [3] It has been identified as a solar twin by Datson et al. (2012), which means its physical properties are very similar to the Sun. [9] It has 10% more mass than the Sun but only a 3% larger radius. The star is estimated to be 1.6 [4] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4.2 km/s. [3] It is radiating 1.16 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,869 K. [4]
The star is currently known to have one planet, designated HD 142415 b. This was detected via the radial velocity method and announced in 2004. The orbital period is just over a year, which made a determination of the orbital eccentricity more difficult due to undersampling over part of the orbit, in combination with jitter. The authors chose to pin the eccentricity value to 0.5, although solutions in the range 0.2–0.8 would be equally plausible. [6]

HD 169830 is a star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.90. The star is located at a distance of 120 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.3 km/s, and is predicted to come as close as 20.7 ly (6.4 pc) in 2.08 million years. HD 169830 is known to be orbited by two large Jupiter-like exoplanets.
HD 6434 is a star in the southern constellation of Phoenix. Yellow dwarfs such as this are not very luminous, so at a distance of 138 light years it is not visible to the unaided eye. However, with binoculars it is readily visible under ideal observing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.71. The star is drifting further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.
HD 216770 is an 8th-magnitude star located approximately 124 light-years away in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus. It is an orange dwarf, and is somewhat dimmer and cooler than the Sun.
HD 192263 is an 8th magnitude star about 64 light years away in the constellation of Aquila. The spectral type of the star is K2V, meaning that it is an orange dwarf, a type of star somewhat cooler and less luminous than the Sun. It is not visible to the unaided eye, but with good binoculars or small telescope it should be easy to spot.
HD 114386 is a 9th magnitude star located approximately 91 light years away in the constellation of Centaurus. It is an orange dwarf, and rather dim compared to the Sun. It can be seen with a telescope or good binoculars.
HD 28185 is a yellow dwarf star similar to the Sun located 128 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star is known to possess one long-period extrasolar planet.
HD 1237 is a binary star system approximately 57 light-years away in the constellation of Hydrus.
HD 4308 is a single star in the southern constellation of Tucana. It has a yellow hue and is a challenge to view with the naked eye even under good seeing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.54. This object is located at a distance of 72 light years, as determined from parallax measurements. It is a population II star and is considered to be a member of the thick disk. The star is receding from the Sun with a radial velocity of +95 km/s.
HD 14412 is a single star in the southern constellation of Fornax. It has the Gould designation 22 G. Fornacis, while HD 14412 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation. The star has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.33, which, according to the Bortle scale, can be dimly seen with the naked eye from rural locations. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 77.9″, this system is 42 light-years distant from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +7.5 km/s.
HD 4113 is a dual star system in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.88. The distance to this star, as estimated by parallax measurements, is 137 light years. It is receding away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +5 km/s.
HD 73256 is a variable star in the southern constellation of Pyxis. It has the variable star designation CS Pyxidis. With a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 8.08, it requires a small telescope to view. The star is located at a distance of 120 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +30 km/s.
HD 111232 is a star in the southern constellation of Musca. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.59. The distance to this star is 94.5 light years based on parallax. It is drifting away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +104 km/s, having come to within 14.1 light-years some 264,700 years ago. The absolute magnitude of this star is 5.25, indicating it would have been visible to the naked eye at that time.
HD 141937 is a star in the southern zodiac constellation of Libra, positioned a couple of degrees to the north of Lambda Librae. It is a yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.25, which means it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. This object is located at a distance of 108.9 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.2 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 4.71.
HD 196050 is a triple star system located in the southern constellation of Pavo. This system has an apparent magnitude of 7.50 and the absolute magnitude is 4.01.

HD 171238 is a 9th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 146 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This star is a little bit cooler, less massive, older, and more metal-rich than the Sun, although its age is poorly constrained. In August 2009, it was announced that this star has a planet.
HD 204313 is a star with two and possibly three exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Capricornus. With an apparent magnitude of 7.99, it is an eighth magnitude star that is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye.
