It is visible to the naked eye as a faint star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.35[2] The system is located approximately 440 light-years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12 km/s.

[5] This system forms the double star GLE 2, whose companion's magnitude is 8.6 with a 3.3″ angular separation, which was discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Walter Gale[9] in 1894.

The primary component is itself a single-lined spectroscopic binary[10][11] with an orbital period of 6.06 years and an eccentricity of 0.26.

[6] The visible member of this inner pair is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4III.
