It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.22.
[13]) Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.87 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 410 light years away from the Sun.
[12] This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B2.5 Vn,[3] where the 'n' suffix indicates nebulous lines due to spin.
[10] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 15% larger than the polar radius.
With an age of just 24.6[6] million years, it is radiating 792 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 15,395 K.[8]
