HD 107914 is a binary star in the constellation Centaurus at ≈78.3 pc from the Sun classified as a white A7/8-giant.[2] This relatively nearby star has notoriously small proper motions making from it a potential Nemesis candidate to penetrate into the Oort cloud.[5] Preliminary measurements from the H-alpha line give the radial velocity in the range from -13 to +3 km/s (measured by M. Muterspaugh and M. Williamson at a robotic spectroscopic telescope in Arizona, cf.[6]). Such values of the radial velocity are too small for the collision course with the solar system. For example, if km/s, then the distance from the Sun to HD 107914 at its closest approach will be ≈1.6 pc in linear approximation.
