HD 107914 is the primary component of a
binary star system in the constellation Centaurus, with an estimated distance of 255.5 light-years (78.3 pc)[6] from the Solar System. It has a stellar classification of A7-8 III, making it a giant star
.
Measurement of the
spectrum show a radial velocity in the range from –13 to +3 km/s. (This result was obtained by M. Muterspaugh and M. Williamson at a robotic spectroscopic telescope in Arizona.[7]) Such values for the radial velocity are too small to produce a likely collision course with the Solar System
. For example, if Vr = –10 km/s, then the distance from the Sun to HD 107914 at closest approach will be about 5.2 ly (1.6 pc).
