The combined apparent magnitude is +5.46,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye.
Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.05 mas,[1] the system is roughly 540 light-years (170 parsecs) distant from the Earth.
The inner pair of this system consist of two nearly identical B-type main sequence stars, each with about five times the mass of the Sun.
The tertiary component is a smaller star with 88% of the Sun's mass, and is a common proper motion companion.
