39 Draconis is a wide

apparent visual magnitude of 5.0.[2] Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of 184 light-years, or 56 parsecs away from the Sun.[1] The system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of -24.5 km/s.[6]

The two components of 39 Draconis have an

mass of the Sun with a visual magnitude of 5.06[3] The secondary is a magnitude 8.07[3] F-type main-sequence star, and has 1.18 times the mass of the Sun.[7]

The 8th-magnitude star HD 238865 is listed in double star catalogues as component C.

spectroscopic binary with an F8 primary and a red dwarf secondary orbiting every 2.7 days.[11][12]
