It is situated about 42 light-years from Earth. Its companion, HR 483 B, is a little-studied red dwarf. HD 10307 was identified in September 2003 by astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson as one of the most promising nearby candidates for hosting life based on her analysis of the HabCat list of stars.
