The combined apparent visual magnitude of this system is +5.09,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

With an annual parallax shift of 10.27 mas,[1] it is located at a distance of approximately 320 light-years (98 parsecs) from Earth, give or take a 20 light-year margin of error.

At this distance the brightness of the star is diminished by 0.18 in magnitude because of extinction from interstellar gas and dust.

[8] The primary component is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III.

[4] This energy is being emitted into outer space from the outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,406 K,[4] giving it the cool orange glow of a K-type star.
