Hope and Fate

Hope, the larger of the two stars, has a diameter of about 1,383,000 kilometers while fate is much smaller at about 646,000 kilometers, making it roughly half the size. Consistent with this metric, Fate is also around 45% as massive as Hope. Due to these differences in mass and size the system has an stellar barycenter about 1.93 AU away from Hope. Fate, with its lower mass, orbits 2963 AU away from this barycenter, or about 0.0468 light years.
