HD 219617 is a binary star system some 220 light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation Aquarius. It is composed of two metal-poor F-type subdwarf stars orbiting each other in a 388-year orbit. [3] Another theory suggests that the binary star is composed of subgiant stars. [4] Unlike many halo stars, which exhibit an excess of alpha elements relative to iron, HD 219617 is depleted in iron peak and alpha elements, although alpha elements concentrations are poorly constrained. [8] The stellar chemical composition is peculiar, being relatively oxygen-enriched [9] and extremely depleted in neutron capture elements. [6] The helium fraction of the binary star at present cannot be reliably determined, and appears to be near the primordial helium abundance. [10]

The binary star HD 219617 is part of the hierarchical triple system LDS 6393, together with the red subdwarf VB 12 (LHS 541) of spectral class sdM3 [11] at a projected separation of 19″ (1,200 AU). [4] VB 12 also has several peculiarities. [4] The star system belongs kinematically to the halo stars. Additional stellar components of the star system are suspected. [3]

The binary nature of HD 219617 has been known since the 19th century, but uncertainties in measurement and a stellar conjunction in 1920 precluded determining even an approximate orbit until 1991. [12] [10] Then in 2017, the orbit was measured accurately, as separation between the stars increased. [3]

Groombridge 1830 is a star in the constellation Ursa Major.

107 Piscium is a single star in the constellation of Pisces. 107 Piscium is the star's Flamsteed designation. John Flamsteed numbered the stars of Pisces from 1 to 113, publishing his Catalogus Britannicus in 1725. He accidentally numbered 107 Piscium twice, as he also allocated it the designation of 2 Arietis. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that has been measured varying between 5.14 and 5.26. However, that finding of variation was not confirmed by subsequent observations and is most likely spurious data. It is located at a distance of about 24.8 light years away from the Sun. 107 Piscium is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −33.6, and is predicted to come as close as 15.4 light-years in around 135,800 years.

A B-type subdwarf (sdB) is a kind of subdwarf star with spectral type B. They differ from the typical subdwarf by being much hotter and brighter. They are situated at the "extreme horizontal branch" of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. Masses of these stars are around 0.5 solar masses, and they contain only about 1% hydrogen, with the rest being helium. Their radius is from 0.15 to 0.25 solar radii, and their surface temperature is from 20,000 to 40,000 K.

HD 15115 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is readily visible in binoculars or a small telescope, but is considered too dim to be seen with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 6.76. The distance to this object is 160 light years based on parallax, and it is slowly drifting further away at the rate of about 1 km/s. It has been proposed as a member of the Beta Pictoris moving group or the Tucana-Horologium association of co-moving stars; there is some ambiguity as to its true membership.

HD 149382 is a hot subdwarf star in the constellation of Ophiuchus with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.943. This is too faint to be seen with the naked eye even under ideal conditions, although it can be viewed with a small telescope. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located at a distance of about 246 light-years from the Earth.

26 Draconis is a triple star system in the constellation Draco, located 46 light years from the Sun. Two of the system components, A and B, form a spectroscopic binary that completes an orbit every 76 years. The composite spectral classification of the AB pair is G0V, which decomposes to individual spectral types F9V and K3V. A 1962 study estimated the masses of these two stars as 1.30 and 0.83 times the mass of the Sun, respectively. The stars are considered moderately metal-poor compared to the Sun, which means they have a lower proportion of elements other than hydrogen or helium.

HD 79498 is a double star in the northern constellation of Cancer. The primary component of this pair has an orbiting exoplanet companion. This star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.05. The system is located at a distance of 159 light years based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.2″·yr−1.

HD 49798 is a binary star in the constellation Puppis about 650 parsecs from Earth. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.3, making it one of the brightest known O class subdwarf stars.

c Ursae Majoris is the Bayer designation for a double-lined spectroscopic binary star system in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.18, which indicates that is visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements yield an estimated distance of 66 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −14 km/s.

HD 168009 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.3, placing it just above to below the normal limit of stars visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions of 6-6.5. An annual parallax shift of 42.93 mas provides a distance estimate of 76 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −65 km/s. In about 328,000 years from now, the star will make its closest approach at a distance of around 17 ly (5.1 pc).

It has an absolute magnitude of 4.64, but at that distance the system has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.10, which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NY Virginis</span> Binary star in the constellation Virgo

NY Virginis is a binary star about 1,940 light-years away. The primary belongs to the rare class of subdwarf B stars, being former red giants with their hydrogen envelope completely stripped by a stellar companion. The companion is a red dwarf star. The binary nature of NY Virginis was first identified in 1998, and the extremely short orbital period of 0.101016 d, together with brightness variability on the timescale of 200 seconds was noticed, resulting in the identification of the primary star as a B-type subdwarf in 2003. Under a proposed classification scheme for hot subdwarfs it would be class sdB1VII:He1. This non-standard system indicates that it is a "normal" luminosity for a hot subdwarf and that the spectrum is dominated by hydrogen rather than helium.

HD 72945 and HD 72946 form a co-moving star system in the northern constellation of Cancer. HD 72945 is a binary star that is dimly visible to the naked eye as a point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.91. At an angular separation of 10.10″ is the fainter companion star HD 72946 at magnitude 7.25. It is being orbited by a brown dwarf. The system as a whole is located at a distance of approximately 84 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements.
