HIP 107 vs Tau Phe
Spectral type is what most distinguishes them, M against G. Their absolute magnitudes are all but equal (−0.58 and −0.59), so the pair emits comparable amounts of light. Tau Phe trails in apparent brightness at magnitude +5.71 against +5.53, leaving HIP 107 around 1.2 times the brighter target.
