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 101930, also known as Gliese 3683, is an orange hued star located in the southern constellation Centaurus. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.21, making it faintly visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye. The system is located relatively close at a distance of 98 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 18.4 km/s. A 2007 multicity survey found a co-moving companion located 73″ away, making it a binary star. It has a class of M0-1 and a mass of 0.7 M☉.

HD 162020 is a star in the southern constellation of Scorpius with a likely red dwarf companion. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.10, which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 102 light-years based on stellar parallax.

NGC 4349-127 is a probable red giant star approximately 6,100 light-years away in the constellation of Crux. It is a member of the open cluster NGC 4349. Its mass is estimated at 3.9 times Solar, and its age is about 200 million years.
Gliese 682 or GJ 682 is a red dwarf. It is listed as the 53rd-nearest known star system to the Sun, being 16.3 light years away from the Earth. Even though it is close by, it is dim with a magnitude of 10.95 and thus requires a telescope to be seen. It is located in the constellation of Scorpius, near the bright star Theta Scorpii. The star is in a crowded region of sky near the Galactic Center, and so appears to be near a number of deep-sky objects from the Solar System's perspective. The star is only 0.5 degrees from the much more distant globular cluster NGC 6388.
CoRoT-6 is a magnitude 13.9 star located in the Ophiuchus constellation.
HD 190984, also known as HIP 99496, is a star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Pavo, the peacock. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.76, making it readily visible in small telescopes, but not to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be 486 light years away from the Solar System. It appears to be receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20.3 km/s.
KQ Puppis is a spectroscopic binary variable star in the constellation Puppis. A red supergiant star and a hot main sequence star orbit each other every 9,742 days. Its apparent magnitude varies between 4.82 and 5.17.
NGC 4349 is an open cluster in the constellation Crux. It was discovered by James Dunlop in 1826. It is located approximately 7,000 light years away from Earth.
HD 7449 is a binary star system about 126 light-years way. The primary star, HD 7449 A, is a main-sequence star belonging to the spectral class F9.5. It is younger than the Sun. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 80% of solar abundance.
HD 121056, also known as HIP 67851, is a K-type giant star 209 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. Its surface temperature is 4867±49 K. HD 121056’s concentration of heavy elements is similar to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.020±0.031, although the star is enriched in lighter rock-forming elements like magnesium and aluminum.
Lambda Doradus, Latinized from λ Doradus, is a solitary yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Dorado. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.13, making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of 551 light years, and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 10 km/s.
HD 30669 is a yellowish-orange hued star located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 9.11, making it readily visible in small telescopes but not to the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 188 light years, based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3. Its distance from the Solar System is rapidly increasing, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 66 km/s.
HD 21693 is a star in the constellation Reticulum. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.94, therefore it is not visible to the naked eye. From its parallax measured by the Gaia spacecraft, it is located at a distance of 108.6 light-years (33.3 parsecs) from Earth.
