This system is located at a distance of 279 light years based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −29 km/s.
[2] This is a slightly evolved G-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of G0 IV.
[3] It is ceasing thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in its core and will expand to become a red giant.
[4] It is radiating 2.2 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,920 K.[5] The level of chromospheric activity is minimal, allowing for accurate measurement of radial velocity variation.
[3] It has minimum mass two and a half times that of Jupiter and orbits the star closer than Mercury to the Sun.
