In the sky it positioned just to the west of the magnitude 3.2 star Beta Cephei (β Cep).

This object has a yellow hue similar to the Sun but is too faint to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.26.

[2] It is located at a distance of 86 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and has an absolute magnitude of 5.15.

[2] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −77 km/s,[2] and is predicted to come to within 7.96 light-years in 334,000 years.

[9] This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0V,[3] indicating that it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion.
