[11] It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.35.

[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.53 mas,[1] it is located roughly 224 light-years away from the Sun.

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 Vn,[3] where the 'n' indicates broad absorption lines due to rotation.

[5] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 13% larger than the polar radius.

[12] It is shining with 70[7] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,457 K.[8]
