HD 9986 is a Sun-like star in the equatorial constellation of Pisces. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.77,[2] it lies below the normal limit for visibility with the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 83 light years from the Sun as determined from parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −21 km/s.[1]

This object is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5 V,[3] and is a near solar twin with physical properties very similar to the Sun's. It is around 3.3[4] billion years old and is spinning slowly with a rotation period of about 23 days. A speckle survey of G-dwarfs by Elliott P. Horch in 2002 noted that HD 9986 may not be non-single star.[7]
