[12] The system is located at a distance of 115 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −7 km/s.

[citation needed] It was later included as STF 2727 in the catalogue compiled by F. G. W. Struve and can be found under this name in the Washington Double Star Catalog.

[3] A fit of orbital elements to the available positional data provides a period of 3,249 years with a high eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.88.

It is radiating 10 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,295 K.[7] The brighter component, γ2 Delphini, has an orange hue with a class of K1IV.

McDonald Observatory researches have set mass limits for potential planetary companions in orbit around the star Gamma2 Delphini.
