With an apparent visual magnitude of +7.57,[2] it is too faint to be visible to the normal human eye.

The distance to this system is approximately 1,590 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 25.39 km/s.

[2] It has a spectral classification of K1II-III, making it a giant star that has evolved away from the main sequence after exhausting the hydrogen at its core.

This behavior is typical for giant K-type stars such as this and it is not the result of a close-orbit planetary companion.

This object is located at a mean distance of 277 Gm (1.85 AU) from the star, taking 472 days to make one elliptical orbit.
