Its apparent magnitude is 5.58,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye.
Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.40 mas as measured from Earth, it is located about 243 light years from the Sun.
The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −5 km/s.
The abundance of iron is lower than in the Sun: the star is considered metal deficient.
[8] It is around 4.6[2] billion years old and is radiating 39 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,667 K.[3]
