[1] It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.787,[2] which is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye.
Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.71±0.50[1] as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located about 222 light years away.
[8] The magnitude 5.93 primary, component A, displays a stellar classification of F2III,[12] matching an aging F-type giant star.
[7] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 21% larger than the polar radius.
The star is radiating 31[10] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 6,888 K.[9]
