It is a dim star, visible to the naked eye, with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.59.

[2] An annual parallax shift of 10.6692±0.0483 mas[1] provides a distance estimate of about 306 light-years.

It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −22 km/s,[6] and will make perihelion passage at a distance of around 119 ly (36.56 pc) in 3.75 million years.

[5] This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V.[3] It is spinning rapidly, showing a projected rotational velocity of 335.

It is radiating 75[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,789 K.[4]
