Both components, HD 133131 A and B, are very similar to the Sun but are far older, about 6 billion years old. They also have low metallicities (50% of solar abundance), and HD 133131 A is additionally depleted in heavy elements compared to HD 133131 B, indicating a possibly past planetary engulfment event for HD 133131 B.
