It has a white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.15.

[2] The distance to this star is approximately 384 light years based on parallax.

[7] It is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of about +15 km/s,[6] having come to within 88 light-years some 7.3 million years ago.

[3] The star has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 175.5 km/s,[10] giving it an equatorial bulge that is 5% larger than the polar radius.

[14] It is radiating 350 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,462 K.[8] It has one reported visual companion, designated component B, at an angular separation of 32.0″ and visual magnitude 13.0.
