[2] Separated by roughly 20 astronomical units (3.0×109 km) from its primary companion, HR 2562 B has drawn interest for its potential dynamical interactions with the outer circumstellar disc.
In the initial data set, Konopacky and collaborators identified a candidate companion object.
Between 1999 and 2011, estimates from various teams of astronomers determined ages ranging from roughly 300 Myr to 1.6 Gyr.
In 2018, a team of astronomers led by D. Mesa derived an age of 450+300−250 Myr using measurements of the star's lithium-temperature relationship.
However, a highly misaligned orbit would significantly perturb the disc, suggesting that a low-eccentricity, coplanar solutions are likelier.
