Sol Novus (or just Novus, for short) is a G2 star, with a dimmer companion star Sol Alter. Novus has 1.1301 times the mass of the earth's sun, 1.2318 its diameter, and about 150% of its luminosity.
Novus is at the centre of a solar system. One of its planets is Zebia, an earthlike planet, at a mean distance of 1.2248 AU from it.
Novus and its companion star, Sol Alter (or "Alter" for short), orbit each other in an elliptical orbit with a perihelion of 178.7 AU and an aphelion of 566 AU. The great semi-major axis of the orbit is 291 AU, and the orbital period is 2,208.2431 Earth-years (1,731.823 Zebia-years). The magnitude of Alter, as seen from Zebia, is -15.66 at perihelion, and -13.16 at aphelion.
