It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.62.

[2] The star is located approximately 384 light-years distant from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12 km/s.

[13][14] This object is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B4 Vne,[3] where the suffix notation indicates "nebulous" (broad) lines due to rapid rotation, along with emission lines from circumstellar material, making it a Be star.

[13] It is around 53[7] million years old and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 341 km/s.

It is radiating 790[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 16,500 K.[8]
