The star is located at a distance of 175 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +11.6.
[5] The absolute magnitude of this star is 4.31,[6] indicating it would be visible to the naked eye if it were at a distance of 10 parsecs.
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3V,[3] which indicates it is undergoing core hydrogen fusion.
[6] The abundance of elements more massive than helium – what astronomers term the star's metallicity – is ~31% higher than in the Sun.
This object was detected using the radial velocity method by search programs conducted using the HARPS spectrograph.
