Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of around 213 light-years (65 parsecs) from Earth.

[1] This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III[3] that has expanded to 40 times the Sun's radius.

The outer atmosphere is cooler than the Sun's with an effective temperature of 4,131 K,[6] giving it the orange hue of a K-type star.

[9] In terms of its composition, this star shows a similar abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium to the Sun.

Over long durations these follow a linear trend, in combination with shorter period oscillations occurring over a few days.
