With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.45,[2] it requires dark skies and good seeing conditions to see this star with the naked eye.
[3] Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located at a distance of 85 light-years (26 parsecs) from the Earth.
This energy is being radiated from the outer envelope at an effective temperature of about 5,585 K, giving it the yellow hue typical of G-type stars.
The abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium, what astronomers term the star's metallicity, is higher than in the Sun.
[3] Examination of the system in the infrared using the Spitzer Space Telescope did not reveal any excess emission, which might otherwise suggest the presence of a circumstellar debris disk of orbiting dust.
