HD 4391 is a quadruple star system[10] in the constellation Phoenix that is located at a distance of 49.1 light years from the Sun. The primary has a stellar classification of G3V, which is a G-type main sequence star. The physical properties of this star are similar to the Sun, making it a solar analog. However, it is believed to have 6% greater mass than the Sun[6] and is only 800 million years old.[7] The spectrum for this star displays an abnormally low level of beryllium, which may be the result of some form of mixing process.[8]

No planet has been detected in orbit around this star,[11] nor does it emit a statistically significant excess of infrared radiation that might indicate a debris disk.[12] However, it has three companions that share a common proper motion through space with HD 4391, effectively making it a quadruple star system. HD 4391 B, a pair of red dwarfs of combined spectrum M4, lies at an angular separation of 17″ from the primary, with the two components designated Ba and Bb. HD 4391 C is a type M5 star at a separation of 49″.[13][10] The close red dwarf pair are also sometimes designated HD 4391 B and HD 4391 C, with the outer component being named HD 4391 D.[14][15]
