HD 142022 is a binary star[8] system located in the southernmost constellation of Octans.
[2] The distance to this system is 112 light-years (34 parsecs) based on parallax, but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −10 km/s.
[5] It is radiating 89%[6] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5516 K.[5] The magnitude 11.19[3] companion has the designation LTT 6384 and appears gravitationally bound to the primary.
[3] The primary star has a single known planetary companion, HD 142022 Ab, discovered in 2005.
[8] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 142022 Ab were determined via astrometry.
