HD 20003 is a

light years from the Sun based on parallax. HD 20003 is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −16 km/s,[1] and is predicted to come to within 97 light-years in around 1.4 million years from now.[2]

This object is an ordinary,

The survey in 2015 have ruled out the existence of any stellar companions at projected distances above 18 astronomical units.[8]

Planetary system

HD 20003 has two planets that are at least 12 and 13.4 times as massive as the Earth and have orbital periods of just under 12 and 34 days, respectively. These were detected by the HARPS survey in 2011,[9] and the findings were confirmed using Spitzer in 2017.[7]

Since 2017, a third planet HD 20003 d on roughly half-year orbit is suspected.[5]
