It has an apparent magnitude of 10.62,[2] making it readily visible in telescopes, but not to the naked eye.
Parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft place the star at a distance of 617 light years;[1] it is currently receding with a radial velocity of 31.6 km/s.
[4] KELT-10 has a stellar classification of G0 V,[3] indicating that it is a yellow dwarf like the Sun.
[3] It is also slightly hotter, with an effective temperature of 5,948 K[3] compared to the Sun's of 5,778 K. The star has a similar age, with an age of 4.5 billion years[3] and more luminous, having a luminosity 40% greater.
In 2015, a "hot Jupiter" orbiting the star was discovered by the KELT-South telescope.
