It is a white-hued star that is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.78.

[2] The distance to this object is approximately 630 light-years (190 parsecs) based on parallax.

However, Palmer et al. (1968) had it classed as type A2IV,[10] and thus it may be near or past its main sequence lifetime.

[6] It is a suspected variable star of unknown type that has been measured ranging in brightness from magnitude 5.78 down to 5.88.

[3] The star is radiating 151[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,098 K.[7]
