[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 22.84 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the star is located 143 light years from the Sun.

[11] Oblak (1978) identified this as a triple star system,[3] although subsequent sources list it as a binary.

The star is radiating 37[8] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,638 K.[9] There is evidence for an infrared excess, indicating the presence of an orbiting debris disk.

[9] The magnitude 7.8 secondary, component B, has a class of A2 V and lies at an angular separation of 30.3 arc seconds.

[5][6] Beta Piscis Austrini is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 14.4 km/s relative to the Sun.
