HR 7703 AB

Also known as HJ 5173, and Gliese 783.

Fact

This is a double star, 19.7 light years from Sol, with the primary (A) being an orange K3 star, similar to Alpha Centauri B. Its companion, B, is an M type dwarf, orbiting at some 40 to 50 AU (check this).

The habitable zone for star A is between 0.457 and 0.904 AUs, centering on 0.680 AU, almost the same distance as Venus from Sol. The orbit at that distance would be 226 standard (Earth) days.
