It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.69,[2] which is just bright enough to be dimly visible to the naked eye under good seeing conditions.
The distance to this system can be ascertained from its annual parallax shift, measured at 9.9 mas[1] with the Gaia space observatory, which yields a separation of 330 light years.
It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +62 km/s[5] and is traversing the celestial sphere at a relatively high rate of 0.183″ per year.
[9] This pair is positioned near the line of sight to the open cluster NGC 752, located 1,490 light-years away.
[10] The brighter primary is an aging giant star[3] with a stellar classification of K0 III,[4] having exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved off the main sequence.
