HD 20781 is a star which is part of a wide binary system with HD 20782. The companion star has a very large angular separation of 252 arcsec, corresponding to 9080 AU at the distance of HD 20782.[5] Both stars possess their own planetary systems in S type orbits, with a total of five known planets around both stars.[3][6] This is the first known example of planets being found orbiting both components of a wide binary system.[5][7] HD 20781 has no noticeable starspot activity.[3]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2011, a pair of Neptune-mass gas giants were detected with the radial velocity method.[7] In 2017, these planets were confirmed and an additional two inner super-Earths were detected, with periods of 5.3 and 13.9 days respectively.[3]
