It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82.

[2] Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is at a distance of roughly 530 light-years (160 parsecs) from Earth.

The primary is a giant star with a stellar classification of K3.5 III Ba0.4, meaning that an overabundance of barium ionized one time is observed in the spectrum of the star, making it a barium star.

The secondary component is likely a white dwarf with a period of 748.2 days and an eccentricity of 0.34.

There is a third component at an angular separation of 0.22 arcseconds.
