Abstract (from CDS):

Aims. A previous study claimed that the star HIP 21539 passed close to the Sun, at a distance of 1.9pc, around 0.14Myr ago. We show that this is not the case.
Methods. We redetermined the trajectory of the star relative to the Sun using a new accurate radial velocity from the HARPS spectrograph combined with the recent Gaia-TGAS astrometry.
Results. With this new data, the closest approach of HIP 21539 to the Sun is now 17pc, instead of 1.9pc.
Conclusions. At this distance, the star has not perturbed the Oort cloud.
