ADS 48A and ADS 48B are in orbital motion around each other while ADS 48F is a common proper motion companion not gravitationally bound to the pair. The others are unassociated background stars, and component C could be a double star itself.[13] It has also been proposed the existence of an unseen companion of 0.05 M☉.[10]
