HD 120987 appears to be a single F-type star with the spectral classification F4V, but closer inspection reveals it to be two similar F-type main-sequence stars with spectral classifications of F0V and F1V, respectively. The two orbit each other every 373 years, and are separated by 1.519 arcseconds while taking a very eccentric orbit.
