[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.67 mas as seen from Earth,[2] it is located about 580 light years from the Sun.

[3] Jerzykiewicz and Sterken (1992) showed a small amplitude variability with a period of 3.02 days.

[5] There is a higher frequency photometric variability with a rate of 10.93482 per day and an amplitude of 0.0031 in visual magnitude,[6] but the cause of this is unknown.

A magnetic field has been detected with a polar field strength of around 500 G, which is varying longitudinally with an amplitude of around 100 G. The star has an estimated nine times the mass of the Sun and 4.8 times the Sun's radius.

It is radiating 5,754 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of around 23,000 K.[3]
