[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.39 mas, it is located approximately 740 light-years (230 parsecs) distant from Earth, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +44 km/s.

[2] The brightness of the star is diminished by 0.15[8] in magnitude from extinction caused by interstellar gas and dust.

[4] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 41[2] times the Sun's radius.

It varies slightly in brightness, with a periodicity of 6.2 days and an amplitude change of 0.0096 in magnitude.

[5] On average it is radiating 387[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,013 K.[2]
