It is visible to the naked eye as a point source of blue-white light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.45.

[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.07 mas as measured from Earth,[2] the system is located roughly 232 light years from the Sun.

The primary, designated component A, is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B7.5 Vn,[4] where the 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" absorption lines caused by rotation.

It is about 94[7] million years old and has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 185 km/s.

[7] The third component, AM Leporis, is a BY Draconis variable[11] of apparent magnitude 9.92,[3] and spectral type G8Ve[12] at an angular separation of 12.7".
