HD 204018, also designated as HR 8202, is a visual binary located in the southern constellation of Microscopium. The primary has an apparent magnitude of 5.58,[3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The companion has an apparent magnitude of 8.09.[3] The system is located relatively close at a distance of 176 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[2][4] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 18.3 km/s.[10] At its current distance, HD 204018's combined brightness is diminished by 0.13 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[22]

HD 204018A is an Am star with a stellar classification of kA4hF0 VmF6,[6] indicating that it has the calcium K-line of an A4 star, the hydrogen lines of a F0 main-sequence star and the metallic lines of a F6 star. It has 1.73 imes the mass of the Sun[2] and 2.42 times the Sun's radius.[2] It radiates 12.8 times the luminosity of the Sun[2] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,778 K,[13] giving it a yellowish-white hue. At an age of 1.5 billion years, HD 2014018A is estimated to be on the subgiant branch.[5] An alternate model places it on the main sequence at an age of 1,35 billion years.[2] The object spins at a moderate speed with a projected rotational velocity of 85 km/s.[14]

The companion is an F8 main sequence star[9] located 2+12" away along a position angle of 151°.[23] It has an angular diameter of 0.186±0.035 arcseconds,[17] which yields a radius of 1.09 R at its estimated distance.[16] It has 102% times the mass of the Sun[15] and an effective temperature of 6,235 K.[17] HD 204018B is estimated to be 3.46 billion years old and is slightly metal deficient.[18]

There is a magnitude 12 co-moving companion located 295.3" away from the system along a position angle of 75°.[23] It is a red dwarf with an estimated spectral class of K6 and any orbit would take over a million years.[24]
