HD 200779

At its current distance, HD 200779's brightness is diminished by only six hundredths of a magnitude due to interstellar dust and it has an absolute magnitude of +7.38. HD 200779 is expected to come within 7.76 parsecs (25.3 ly) of the Solar System in roughly 160,000 years.

HD 200779 is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K6 V. It has 68% the mass of the Sun and 69% of its radius. However, it only radiates 18% the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,406 K, giving it an orange hue. It has an iron abundance slightly above solar level at [Fe/H] = +0.05 and it is estimated to be 6.33 billion years old. HD 200779 spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 5.1 km/s. The star is generally considered to be chromospherically active.

HD 200779 has two optical companions: a distant 11th magnitude star located 64.6" away and a 9th magnitude star located 169.4" away.
