It has an apparent magnitude of 5.79,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions.

The system is located relatively close at a distance of 310 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of approximately −4.9 km/s.

[10] It radiates 32.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,759 K,[13] giving it a white-hue when viewed in the night sky.

41 Sextantis Aa is metal-deficient with an iron abundance 58.9% that of the Sun[14] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 24 km/s.

[5] It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.
