[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 51.54 mas as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located 51.5 light-years from the Sun.
The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −21.5 km/s.
[5] Spectrographic images taken at the Cape Observatory between 1921 and 1923 showed this star has a variable radial velocity, which indicated this is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system.
[7] The primary component has received a number of different stellar classifications.
[11] More recently, Houk (1982) listed a class of F3 V,[12] matching an ordinary main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core.
