[5] This object is a subgiant of spectral type G8 IV; it will stop fusing hydrogen at its core relatively soon, starting the process of becoming a red giant.

[14] Studies have shown a correlation between abundant heavy elements in stars, and the presence of a planetary system,[15] so Delta Pavonis has a greater than average probability of harboring planets.

[16] A study in 2023 detected a trend in the star's radial velocity, which may indicate the presence of a planetary companion, supporting the previous astrometric result.

Properties in its favor include a high metallicity, minimal level of magnetic activity, low rotation rate, and kinematic membership in the thin disk population of the Milky Way.

[17] Delta Pavonis, a close photometric match to the Sun, is the nearest solar analog that is not a member of a binary or multiple star system.
