[7] Gamma Trianguli is radiating about 33[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer envelope at an effective temperature of 9,440 K,[8] giving the star a white hue.

[11] Because the inclination of the star's axial tilt is unknown, this means that the azimuthal equatorial velocity is at least this amount and possibly higher.

[13] The doppler shift from the rapid rotation results in very diffuse absorption lines in the star's spectrum, as indicated by the 'nn' in the classification.

This disk can be detected because it is being heated to a temperature of about 75 K by Gamma Trianguli and is radiating this as infrared energy.

Consequently, the Chinese name for γ Trianguli itself is 天大將軍十 (Tiān Dà Jiāng Jūn shí, English: the Tenth Star of Heaven's Great General.).
