[8] The fainter member of the pair, a red dwarf,[4] has a peculiar spectrum that shows a deficiency in elements with a higher atomic number than Helium.
[11] The two stars share a highly elliptical orbit that takes several centuries to complete.
[13] Observations from Gaia have shown that it is in fact component B which is binary, with an orbital period of 88 days.
[14] This system has a relatively high proper motion, moving over a second of arc across the sky each year.
[6] The stars in this system show low chromospheric activity, and have a net space velocity of 52 km/s relative to the Sun.
