HD 195564 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the southern constellation of Capricornus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.65.[2] Parallax measurements from the Hipparcos spacecraft give us an estimate of its distance as around 80 light years. This appears to be a wide binary system as a faint companion star shares a common proper motion with the brighter primary component.[7]

Based upon the spectrum of light emitted by the primary, it has a stellar classification of G2 V.[3] This indicates that it is a G-type main sequence star that is generating energy through the process of thermonuclear fusion in its core region. It has an estimated mass of 1.097[5] times the mass of the Sun, but a measured radius that is 1.867 times as large.[5] As a result, it shines with 2.705 times the luminosity of the Sun.[5] The abundance of elements in this star is similar to that in the Sun, although it is an older star with an age of around 8.2 billion years.[5] The effective temperature of the stellar atmosphere is 5,421 K,[5] giving it the yellow-hued glow of an ordinary K-type star.[9]

The secondary companion has an apparent magnitude of 11.30,[10] and a mass just 55% that of the Sun.[7] As measured in 1965, it had an angular separation of 3.20 from the primary, along a position angle of 27°[10] The pair orbit each other with an estimated period of around 510 years.[7]
