HD 156279 is 4 billion years old and based on the spectral type, K0, it is an orange colour.[5] HD 156279 has an apparent magnitude of 8.167[2] and an absolute magnitude of 5.27.[7][8] The star is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 140% of the solar abundance.[2]
Planetary system
    
Orbiting HD 156279 are two superjovian planets, the inner HD 156279 b (discovered in 2011)[7] and outer HD 156279 c (discovered in 2016).[3] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 156279 c were measured via astrometry.[9]
