[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.68 mas,[1] it is 114 light years distant from Earth.
[6] Keenan and McNeil (1989) classified it as K0 IIIb Fe−1.5 CH0.5,[4] indicating it is a giant star showing a deficiency of iron and an excess of cyanogen in its atmosphere.
It may be a red clump star, which indicates it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.
[12] The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 2.63±0.04 mas.
[13] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 10 times the radius of the Sun.
