The star HD 7199 is named Emiw. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Mozambique, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Emiw represents love in the local Makhuwa language.
This object has a stellar classification of K1IV, matching a K-type subgiant star that is in the process of cooling and expanding off the main sequence, having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core. It is around 10 billion years old with a low projected rotational velocity of 2.2 km/s. The star looks to be very metal-rich, having more than double the abundance of iron compared to the Sun. Both mass and radius are lower than the Sun's, and it only radiates 70% of the Sun's luminosity. It displays a Sun-like magnetic activity cycle.
