HU Delphini, also known as Gliese 791.2, is a star system in the constellation of Delphinus. Its apparent magnitude is 13.07.[3] With a trigonometric parallax of 113.4 ± 0.2 mas,[3] it is about 28.76 light-years (8.82 parsecs) away from the Solar System.

HU Delphini is a binary star with a well-defined period of 1.47080 years and a somewhat high eccentricity of 0.6232. The orbit has been determined from imaging and radial velocity.[7]

Both stars in the system are red dwarfs. The primary component of the system is only 23.7% as massive as the Sun,[3] so it is fully convective.[4] As a result, there are frequent starspots on its surface, especially near poles.[8] While the normal surface temperature of the primary is 3000 K, the starspots themselves are slightly cooler, at about 2700 K. It is also a flare star,[4] the first flare been detected in August 2000.[9] The secondary star has a mass of 11.4% that of the Sun.[3]
