HD 4391is atriple star system[8]in theconstellationPhoenixthat is located at a distance of 48.7light yearsfrom theSun.The primary has astellar classificationof G3V, which is aG-type main sequence star.The physical properties of this star are similar to the Sun, making it asolar analog.However, it is believed to have 22% greater mass than the Sun and is only 1.2 billion years old.[5]The spectrum for this star displays an abnormally low level of beryllium, which may be the result of some form of mixing process.[6]

No planet has been detected in orbit around this star,[5]nor does it emit a statistically significantexcess of infrared radiationthat might indicate adebris disk.[9]However, it has two companions that share acommon proper motionthrough space with HD 4391, effectively making it a triple star system. The first, ared dwarfof type M4, lies at anangular separationof 17″ from the primary. The second is a type M5 star at a separation of 49″.[8]
