It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye except under ideal conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.02.
[2] The star is located at a distance of 104 light-years (32 parsecs) from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.
[3] It is chromospherically inactive and appears older than the Sun with a rotation period of 23.7 days.
It is radiating 1.35[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,950 K.[4] In December 2004, using the radial velocity method, it was found to have a long-period giant planet in orbit around it.
[4] The parameters of HD 89307 b were updated in 2012,[7] and in 2023 its inclination and true mass were determined via astrometry.
