HD 24496 is a binary star[9] system in the equatorial constellation of Taurus. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the pair is 6.81,[2] which is too faint to be readily visible to the normal human eye. The system is located at a distance of 66.8 light-years from the Sun, based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +19 km/s.[2] It is traversing the celestial sphere with a proper motion of 0.276″ per year.[10]

The magnitude 6.9[3] primary star, designated component A, is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G7V.[4] It is around three billion years old with a low projected rotational velocity. The star has 96% of the mass of the Sun and 91% of the Sun's radius. The metallicity, what astronomers term the abundance of heavier elements, is about the same as in the Sun. The star is radiating 71% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,572 K.[6]

The secondary companion, component B, is of magnitude 11.1[3] red dwarf of class M2V[5] that shares a common proper motion with the primary.[11] They have an angular separation of 2.7″ along a position angle of 256°, which is equivalent to a physical projected separation of 55.2 AU.[5] Their orbital period is around 123,000 years.[7]
