Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.42 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located about 243 light years from the Sun.

The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −9 km/s.

[6] At the age of 2.72 billion years,[4] this is an evolved G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8.5 III.

[3] It belongs to the so-called "red clump", which indicates it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.

It is radiating 85 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,864 K.[4]
