It has an apparent visual magnitude of +6.7,[3] which makes it too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye.

The star is located at a distance of 77.7 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[2] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12.1 km/s.

[3] The stellar classification of HD 202628 is G1.5V,[3] matching a yellow-hued G-type main-sequence star similar to the Sun.

The chromospheric activity level and amount of X-ray emission is consistent with a star that is younger than the Sun.

It is radiating 95% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,843 K.[5] In 2010, an infrared excess from a circumstellar disk of dust was detected around this star by the Spitzer Space Telescope.
