It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.88.
[2] The distance to this star, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 5.22±0.21 mas,[1] is roughly 620 light years.
It is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of 16.5 km/s, having come as close as 240 ly (75 pc) some 9.6 million years ago.
[2] It is a member of the Cas-Tau OB association of co-moving stars,[6] and has a peculiar velocity of 8.3 km/s.
The star is radiating about 2,454 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 20,700 K.[6] It appears to have a relatively low rotation rate for a star of its mass and age, showing a projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.
