It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-white hued point of light, having an apparent magnitude of about 5.3.

[2] Based upon parallax measurements,[1] this star is around 188 light years away from the Sun, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4 km/s.

[9] It is 1.2[2] billion years old with 3.6[1] times the Sun's radius.

The star has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 130 km/s,[6] which is giving it an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge some 9% larger than the polar radius.

[10] It is radiating over 20[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,429 K.[1] An infrared excess suggests a circumstellar disk of dust is orbiting at a distance of 8.3 AU from the star with a mean temperature of 200 K.[11]
