64 Piscium is the

light years. The system is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +3.76 km/s.[4]

This is a double-lined

semimajor axis of 6.55 mas.[6]

Both stars in this system have a

mass of the Sun while the secondary has 1.17 times the Sun's mass.[3] Both stars are larger and brighter than the Sun, with higher temperature photospheres − having effective temperatures of around 6,200 K compared to 5,772 K for the Sun.[13] The age of the system is estimated as 6.8[8] billion years and they have a similar element abundance as the Sun.[7]

In 2010, the system was identified as a

AU,[15] compared to a projected linear separation of 0.23 AU for the components.[10]

The

AU with an orbital period of around 50,000 years.[11]
