41 Sextantis (HD 93903; HR 4237; 74 G. Sextantis), or simply 41 Sex is a spectroscopic binary located in the equatorial constellation Sextans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.79,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The system is located relatively close at a distance of 310 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of approximately −4.9 km/s.[6] At its current distance, 41 Sex's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.16 magnitudes[17] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.91.[7]

The visible component has a stellar classification of kA3hA7VmA9,[3] indicating that it is an Am star with the calcium K-lines of an A3 star, the hydrogen lines and effective temperature of an A7 main-sequence star, and the metal lines of an A9 star. It has 2.23 times the mass of the Sun[9] and a slightly enlarged radius 3.10 times that of the Sun.[10] It radiates 32.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,759 K,[13] giving it a white-hue when viewed in the night sky. 41 Sextantis Aa is metal-deficient with an iron abundance 58.9% that of the Sun[14] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 24 km/s.[5]

The companion's spectrum is very weak compared to the primary, but it is said to be either a late F-type star or an early G-type star.[5] It has 105% the mass of the Sun[9] and 1.3 times the radius of the Sun.[5] It radiates 1.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere.[5] It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.[5]

HD 168871 (HIP 90223; 9 G. Telescopii) is a star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.45,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visbility. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 89.2 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is drifting away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 35.1 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 168871’s brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.14 magnitudes[13] and it has a visual absolute magnitude of +4.19.[7]

HD 168871 has a stellar classification of G1/2 V,[3] indicating that it is a G-type main-sequence star with the characteristics of a G1 and G2 main sequence star. Gray et al. (2006) gives a classification of G0- V,[4] indicating that it is a slightly hotter main sequence star. It has 1.25 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates
