[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 0.00625 arcseconds,[2] it is located roughly 520 light years from the Sun.

The pair orbit each other with a period of 7.38 days and an eccentricity of 0.344, during which they undergo Algol-like eclipses.

[1] The primary is a slowly pulsating B-type star[5] with a stellar classification of B5 IV.

[4] The variability of the star's brightness due to pulsations was first detected by Gerald Handler et al. in 2004.

[7] One year later, Mikołaj Jerzykiewicz et al. announced that eclipses had been detected.
