HD 44120 is a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Pictor. Although visible to the naked eye, it is a challenge to view having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.44.[2] The system is located at a distance of 118 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2 km/s.[5] It has an absolute magnitude of 3.57.[2]

The primary member, designated component A of this system, is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F9.5V.[4] It is a Sun-like star and has been considered a "hot" solar analog with a shallower convection zone than the Sun.[12] The estimated age of this star is about four billion years,[6] and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3.4 km/s.[9] It is chromospherically inactive.[13] The star has 1.2[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.6[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating nearly three[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,005 K.[8]

The faint secondary companion, component C, is a magnitude 14.03 white dwarf star with a class of DB3.2,[3] indicating a helium-rich atmosphere. The object has an effective temperature of ~15,700 K with 67% of the Sun's mass but only 1.3% of the Sun's radius.[10] It has taken 155±16 Myr for the white dwarf to have cooled to the current temperature. Prior to leaving the main sequence, this star is estimated to have had 1.45+0.20
−0.16 M☉ and thus was the system primary.[14] It has an angular separation of 40.98″ along a position angle of 301.6° from the current primary. The projected separation of this co-moving pair is 1,533.9 astronomical unit|AU. Their estimated orbit has a semimajor axis of 1,702.6 AU and an orbital period of 51,100 years.[3]

A magnitude 7.61 visual companion, HD 44105, or component B, lies at an angular separation of 32.50″ along a position angle of 234° from component A, as of 2015. It was discovered as a double star by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop and announced in 1829.[15] The parallax for this star indicates a distance of approximately 215 ly (66 pc) from the Sun.[16]
