HD 170657 is a star in the constellation Sagittarius. It is located at a distance of about 43 light years. It has 0.79 solar masses and is a suspected variable star that varies in apparent magnitude from 6.82−6.88.[4]
When observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope, this star did not display an excess emission of infrared radiation, which may otherwise indicate the presence of an orbiting debris disk.[7] The space velocity components of this star are (U, V, W) = (–41, –26, +6) km/s.[9]
Sources give contradictory measurements for the abundance of elements in this star. Lawler et al. (2009) lists an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = 0.27 dex,[7] while Valenti et al. (2005) has an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = –0.15.[6]
