[9] With an apparent visual magnitude of +7.24,[3] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye but can be viewed with a small telescope.
The star lies at a distance of 183 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −24 km/s.
[3] The spectrum of this object matches a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V.
It has a relatively low surface gravity for its class, which suggests it is slightly evolved off the main sequence.
In 2012, a second planet of the star was announced by astronomer Robert A. Wittenmyer and associates.
