[10] It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude of 5.31.
Based upon parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission, it is at a distance of roughly 273 light-years (84 parsecs) from Earth.
[1] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s,[5] and is predicted to come to within 144.6 light-years in 1,6 million years.
[7] This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V.[13] Abt and Morrel (1995) gave it a class of A1 III,[14][7] matching a more evolved giant star.
[8] It is radiating 45[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,572 K.[8]
