Default 26 Draconis???

What's the age of the 26 Draconis system?

What's that system's metallicity?

How's 26 Draconis B's orbit? How eccentric is it?

Web seaches have produce sites that connect 26 Draconis to the Gray Aliens, which is interesting, but doesn't tell me what I need to know.

Really, I did a quick Google and didn't find any Aliens. This and this look promising.
Since I'm not qualified to answer your question and I'm not sure what your question is, I'll stop now so I won't put my foot in my mouth.
But; can a system of stars have a single age?

Ok, I can't answer your questions but you got me... what is it exactly that you need to know?

Thanks for the links. The first one, though very informative, links to the gray aliens at the bottom(which was what I was thinking of, but credibility is suspect). The second is actually another system, 7 LY away from 26 Draconis.

From our understanding, most double stars form at the same time. It's very rare that a star will capture another star as they orbit the galactic plane. I'm sure there are a few out there.

System age and metallicity. Eccentricity would also be helpful as I want to hypothosize extra solar planets in that system.

Go to SIMBAD

http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/

Choose "Query by Identifier."

Type into the "Identifier" box the words "26 Draconis"

Press the "submit ID" button.

You will be given a great deal of basic information, plus references to this star in the technical literature. You can read it to find your own answers.

Does Pluto count as an extra?
