HD 180902 is a star with two or more orbiting companions in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. This system is located at a distance of approximately 342 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.8 km/s.[2] It has an absolute magnitude of 2.5,[4] but at that distance the apparent visual magnitude of the system is 7.8,[2] which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
The spectrum of the primary, component A, presents as an evolving subgiant star[5] with a stellar classification of K0 III/IV.[3] It is an estimated 2.8[4] billion years old with 1.7 times the mass of the Sun. The star has expanded to 4.2 times the radius of the Sun[2] and is radiating 9.4 times the Sun's luminosity from an enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,030 K.[4]
