HR 7703 (Gliese 783, 279 G. Sagittarii) is a

semimajor axis of 56.30 AU for their orbit.[11]

Based upon an annual

velocity of approximately 129 kilometers per second.[6] At this rate, it will make its closest approach in 41,100 years when it comes to within 6.7 light-years (2.05 parsecs) of the Sun.[13]

This star system has been examined for an excess of radiation in the infrared. The presence of an infrared excess can be taken as an indication of a debris disk orbiting the star. However, no such excess was discovered around HR 7703.[14] Radial velocity data collected over a period of 12 years was examined for signs of periodicity caused by a planet orbiting at a distance of 3–6 AU, but none was detected.[15] A slight linear trend in the radial velocities of the primary is probably due to the companion star.[16]
