It has a white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74.

[2] The star is located at a distance of is approximately 200 light years based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +3.4 km/s.

[4] This object is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1/2V.

[3] It has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 141[6] to 165 km/s, giving it an equatorial bulge that is 4% larger than the polar radius.

It is radiating 41[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,230 K.[6] The chemical abundance of the star's outer atmosphere is similar to that in the Sun.
