It is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.09.

[2] The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.35 mas,[1] is about 140 light years.

[4] This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V[3] It is about 209 million years old and has a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 162 km/s.

[6] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 7% larger than the polar radius.

[5] It is radiating 39.5[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 9.880.
