HD 22781, is a single star about 106 

light-years away. It is a K-type main-sequence star. The star’s age is poorly constrained at 4.14±3.63 billion years, but is likely similar to that of the Sun.[5] HD 22781 is heavily depleted in heavy elements, having just 45% of Sun's concentration of iron,[2] yet is comparatively rich in carbon, having 90% of Sun`s abundance.[5]

An imaging survey in 2012 has failed to find any stellar companions, suggesting HD 22781 is a single star.[6]

Planetary system

In 2011 a

eccentric orbit.[3] It is located just outside of the conservative habitable zone of the parent star.[7] Planets around such metal-poor stars are rare; the only three known similar cases are HD 111232 and HD 181720.[8]

In 2012, a radial velocity data review indicated there are no additional giant planets in the system.[9]
