It can faintly be seen with the naked eye on a dark night, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.12.
[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.81 mas,[1] it is located around 418 light years from the Sun.
[3] The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is 4.86±0.05 mas.
[10] At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 67 times the radius of the Sun.
[11] The star radiates 864 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere with an effective temperature of 4,053 K.[7]
