HD 4203 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Pisces, near the northern constellation border with Andromeda. It has a yellow hue and is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.70.[2] The distance to this object is 266 light years based on parallax,[1] but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −14 km/s.[2]

This object is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V. It is photometrically-stable star with an inactive chromosphere, and has a much higher than normal metallicity.[3] The star is roughly 6.3 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.6 km/s.[5] It has 12% more mass than the Sun and a 35% greater radius. HD 4203 is radiating 1.68 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,666 K.[4]
