HD 119124 is a wide

light years. The pair are candidate members of the Castor Moving Group,[18] which implies a relatively youthful age of around 200 million years.[12] HD 119124 is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.[7]

This system was first identified as a

gravitationally bound with an estimated orbital period of around 7,000 years and a linear projected separation of 444.6 AU.[17]

The primary, component A, is a

HD 119124 A displays a strong

AU from the host star. The estimated grain lifetimes are 84,000 years – much shorter than the star's lifespan. This suggests the grains are being replenished via collisions between some number of larger bodies totaling around 1−6 times the mass of the Moon.[10]

This system is a likely (80.4% chance) source of the strong X-ray emission coming from these coordinates.[20]
