It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78[2] The distance to this star, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 17.5 mas,[1] is 186 light years.
58 And is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +8 km/s.
[2] It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.159″ per year.
It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 135 km/s, which is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 6% larger than the polar radius.
It is radiating 36[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,875 K.[4]
