HD 165259, also known as HR 6751 is a triple star system located in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.86,[8] making it faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 138 light years,[1][3] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 13.1 km/s.[7]
HD 165259 consists of two main sequence stars, with stellar classifications of F5 V[4] and G1 V,[6] separated by two arc-seconds as of 2020.[16] Speckle interferometry in 2008 revealed the primary to be a close binary itself, with the two components separated by 0.3″.[17] By 2020, the separation had decreased to 0.2″.[16] The outer pair take 542 years to complete a revolution while the inner pair complete their orbit within 32 years.[18]
At present the primary is somewhat more massive than the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius of 2.0 R☉ as it is nearing the end of its main sequence life.[1] It radiates at 6.2 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,411 K,[10] giving a yellow-white hue. HD 165259A has an iron abundance 82% above solar levels,[11] making it metal enriched. It is estimated to be nearly 2 billion years old and has a projected rotational velocity of less than 5 km/s.[12] HD 165259B has 82% the mass of the Sun[9] and an effective temperature of 5,328 K,[13] giving an orange glow. The faint star orbiting the primary has a mass 73% that of the Sun.[9]
