HD 20781 is a star which is part of a wide binary system with HD 20782. The companion star has a very large angular separation of 252 arcsec, corresponding to 9080 AU at the distance of HD 20782. Both stars possess their own planetary systems in S type orbits. This is the first time that planets have been found in both components of a wide binary system. HD 20781 has no noticeable starspot activity.
Planetary system
In 2011, a pair of Neptune-sized gas giants were detected with the radial velocity method. In 2017, an additional two inner super-Earths were suspected, with periods of 5.3 and 13.9 days respectively.
