HD 181720 is star with an orbiting substellar companion in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It is located at a distance of 196 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,^[2] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −45.4 km/s.^[4] The star has an absolute magnitude of 4.10,^[3] but at that distance it has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.84,^[3] which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.444 arcsec yr⁻¹.^[7]

The spectrum of HD 181720 presents as an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G1V.^[3] It is an older star with an estimated age of roughly 12 billion years^[5] and a minimal level of magnetic activity in its chromosphere.^[3] The star has 87% of the mass of the Sun but the radius is now 42% larger than the Sun's.^[5] Its metallicity content, as measured by the abundance of iron, is three-tenths as much as in the Sun. HD 181720 is radiating more than double the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,781 K.^[3]

The star HD 181720 is named Sika. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Ghana, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Sika means gold in the Ewe language.^[8]^[9]
