HD 176051 is a spectroscopic binary star system [12] approximately 49 light years away from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The pair orbit with a period of 22,423 days (61.4 years) and an eccentricity of 0.25. [6] Compared to the Sun, they have a somewhat lower proportion of elements more massive than helium. [10] Their individual masses are estimated at 1.07 and 0.71 solar masses ( M☉). [2] The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −47 [4] km/s and will reach perihelion in about 269,000 years when it comes within roughly 17 ly (5.1 pc) of the Sun. [13]
A planet orbiting one of the stars was discovered through astrometric observations. However, it is not known which stellar component the planet is orbiting around.
