HD 50281 (also known as Gliese 250) is a binary star system with a relatively high proper motion. The primary star is a main sequence orange dwarf star, while the smaller companion is a red dwarf. The two stars are separated by 58 arcsecs, which, at the estimated distance, is equivalent to about 500 AUs.
