Star system features
g Title member of the two-billion-year-old HR 1614 stellar moving group
g Star appears to have a companion

Known planets
g A: NA
g B: NA

Habitable zone
g A: Radial velocity analysis suggests that giant planets of one tenth to 10 times the mass of Jupiter do not exist within 0.1 to four AUs of Star A. Assuming that the spectroscopic companion B does not preclude a stable inner planetary orbit, the distance from Star A where an Earth-type planet would be "comfortable" with liquid water is centered around only 0.457 AU, between the orbital distances of Mercury and Venus in the Solar System. An Earth-type in such a water-zone orbit would probably would have a period of around 123 days or a third of an Earth year. Porto de Mello lists it as one of 13 nearby astrobiologically interesting stars
g B: NA
