It is a variable star that ranges in apparent visual magnitude from 17.5 down to 19.

[3] The system is located at a distance of approximately 990 light-years from the Sun based on parallax.

[8] This eclipsing variable was discovered by P. Biermann and associates in 1982 as the optical counterpart to the EINSTEIN X-ray source E1114+182.

[9] In 2010, Qian et al. announced the detection of a third body of planetary mass around the eclipsing binary system.

[6] The object is roughly 6 times more massive than Jupiter and is located 8.6 AU from the binary.
