LTT 3780, also known as TOI-732 or LP 729-54, is the brighter component of a wide visual binary star system in the constellation Hydra. This star is host to a pair of orbiting exoplanets. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 72 light years from the Sun. LTT 3780 has an apparent visual magnitude of 13.07,[2] requiring a telescope to view.
The spectrum of LTT 3780 presents as a small M-type main-sequence star, a red dwarf, with a stellar classification of M3.5 V. It is spinning very slowly, with a rotation period of 104 days.[2] The abundance of iron, an indicator of the star's metallicity, appears higher than in the Sun.[3] The star is inactive, showing a negligible level of magnetic activity in its chromosphere.[2] It has about 40% of the mass and 37% of the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating just 17% of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,331.[2]
Collectively designated LDS 3977, the two stars in this system share a common proper motion and have an angular separation of 15.8″, which corresponds to a (physical) projected separation of 348 AU.[3] At this separation, the orbital period would be ~9,100 years.[2] The fainter member is a red dwarf with a class of M5.0 V.[3] It has 14% of the mass of the Sun and 17% of the Sun's radius.[2]
